My son Brett always loved these cookies. He submitted this recipe to the newspaper when he was in elementary school. Brett is now a college student. When you try them you will see why he loves them. I usually double this recipe, because there is never enough.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325.

Step 2

In a large mixer bowl, combine flour, nuts, granulated sugar, butter & vanilla.

Beat at low spped, scraping bowl often, until well mixed, about 3-4 minutes.
