These are the first cookies I learned to bake. Grandmother and I made them for the holidays when I was a child. Hulling and shelling those nuts was a difficult and time-consuming job for Grandma. Our whole family enjoyed these yummy cookies even more knowing how much love she put into making them.Doug Black, Conover, North Carolina Ingredients:

2 cups packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
