My mother has been making these for over 40 years. She adds dried apricots that have been soaked in boiling water and then chopped into little pieces. We also sometimes use pecans in place of walnuts. It's not Christmas without these delicious cookies. For some reason most people seem to prefer these cookies made into crescents instead of balls. They should be slightly golden brown before you remove them from the oven. Be careful, they're sinfully good and addictive!
