I don't like walnuts, so I used pecans in the filling instead. They turned out great!

These cookies are a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I might try a different recipe next time.

I accidentally used chopped walnuts instead of ground walnuts in the filling. They were still good, but I think they would have been better with ground walnuts.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out evenly. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer.

I love the texture of these cookies. They're soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
