Black Walnut and Oatmeal Cookies

Recipe Description

Free-for-the-picking black walnuts are plentiful this year and this is a favorite cookie recipe I always make for the first black walnuts we harvest. The recipe was from the back of a bag of Hammons Black Walnuts and found in my mom's stash of recipes I inherited.

Sounds good.

My parents always put tons of walnuts in our stockings every year.
