One of my guests who visited from Italy loved cookies for breakfast, certainly a man after my own heart!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #cc0000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">And here is a little story to go along with these little, pop in your mouth after you freeze them , lucious delights!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">Every Christmas my Mom would make several batches of different types of cookies. &nbsp;These being one of them. &nbsp;She would start her cookie baking right after Thanksgiving and would be in the kitchen for weeks! How she did it with four kids, I will never know! &nbsp;<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">She would freeze them all so that there would be plenty serve during Christmas. &nbsp;One year I decided that my cookie\/chocolate craving was just too much to bear and I decided that I would sneak into the pantry and grab a few out of the freezer. &nbsp;My mother would never know as she was off doing laundry or something, I don&#8217;t quite remember what anymore. &nbsp;Well, my best laid plans of being in cognito came to a screaching halt when I gingerly opened the the freezer door, put my hand into the plastic cookie container and the freezer started to tip right on top of me! I saw it coming and I screamed for my mother as the freezer hit the wall behind me! The pantry wasn&#8217;t that big thankfully for me and the wall held the freezer upright. &nbsp;My mother came running and I was caught red-handed! &nbsp;This story makes me laugh to this day and it is truly a fond memory whenever I whip up a batch of these cookies. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;\">By the way, I no longer make these cookies just for Christmas as they are a favorite of my family, friends and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airbnb.com\/rooms\/539840\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AirBnB<\/a> guests.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-y96G5ZFF_Co\/UuqfS5H37zI\/AAAAAAAAAIU\/gqjDZL72xJo\/s1600\/ChocolateWalnutBalls.jpeg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-y96G5ZFF_Co\/UuqfS5H37zI\/AAAAAAAAAIU\/gqjDZL72xJo\/s1600\/ChocolateWalnutBalls.jpeg\" height=\"640\" width=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I posted a comment on my facebook page on January 23rd about these delectable little delights and finally figured out how to post the picture of them on here for everyone! &nbsp;The picture on facebook turned out much too small and you wouldn&#8217;t see the glaze that covered the cookie, so I posted the pic here!
