These began as random cookies with whatever I had in my cupboards and fridge. When I offered them to my neighbors and they (and their kids) loved them, I thought that I should make a recipe for them so that they can be made again (and again and again). They were super flavorful and super easy to make! And…with all the cinnamon and nuts..they smell like the holidays! yay! Enjoy.
