Instructions
These cookies don't have too much sugar, but by rolling them in the powdered sugar or simply sprinkling them with it, they will taste just right. They are soft, fluffy with healthy nuts. The nuts can be chopped finely or coarsely, it's really a personal choice. Trust me; these cookies are a must make!
