Walnut Refrigerator Cookies

---

My friend, carolyn, brought these cookies into the quilt shop where i work and i begged her for the recipe. this is a delicious, fast refrigerator cookie that has just the right amount of sweetness. i made a batch at my first opportunity and my hubby loved them as much as i did, especially with a hot cup of coffee. the rolls of dough would be great to put in the freezer too, so you could have these little gems whenever you want too.
