This recipe is from my ex-mother-in-law, a very sweet woman (deceased) Her son unfortu-nately took after his dad. Haha These are very good buttery little balls - she used to make them every Christmas for the family. Read more Unfortu-nately she died to get away from them (the family, not the cookies!). Enjoy.

These are delicious cookies - my mom (Ukrainian) used to make them, too - they are so rich and flavorful, I actually tried them also replacing walnuts (which is still my fave) with almonds, hazelnuts... High 5!
