Walnut Black Pepper Cookies... this is yet another one from Cooking with Italian Grandmothers and it is by grandmother Carluccia. I tell you, if not for all the other healthy recipes, for t``he desserts alone you should get yourself a copy of the book. They all sound fantastic and are generally pretty easy to put together....
Now a little about the moment when I finally decided to share these sweeties with you...
It was pretty late that night. My husband had a skype interview in India . He returned at 3:00 in the morning and before I could ask him how the interview went,
he asked, "Are those cookies still there ?"
"Ah... yes.. how was your interview ?"
"We'll see..." he replied, then taking a bite said, "... these cookies are delicious.... can I have some more..."
I knew immediately that the first thing I needed to do next day was to take their photographs.. I suspected that they wouldn't survive another day in the shelf . And they didn't. The whole batch vanished between breakfast, tea and dessert. With all its buttery-sugary goodness and hint of black pepper, these cookies kept calling us(by which I mostly mean my husband) all-day-long.....
