Made these cookies tonight. They have a very comforting flavor and texture. Would like to add orange zest to the frosting next time.
No way 2 tablespoons of walnuts, no matter how finely you chop them,are going to stretch to the tops of 6 dozen cookies!

Hey I just wanted to make sure that you read the recipe right. It should say 1/2 a cup of chopped walnuts for the topping, not 2 tablespoons. Is it possible that you just got mixed up with the 2 tablespoons of sourcream for the frosting? I do that all the time.
Ditto - I am not seeing the directions or frosting ingredients either.
How strange. The recipe is showing the cookie ingredients twice, but no directions or frosting ingredients. I assume the recipe was posted in full originally, since Kukharka was able to test them?

First batch out of oven, amazing! Substituted chopped macadamias for walnuts, plus used wholemeal flour. Was a bit dubious at the texture as I was making them, as I am used to cookie dough being a lot firmer, but need not have worried they are absolutely delish! Thanks for great recipe.
