German Black Walnut Balls image

This is an old recipe that my Gramps used to make (Great Grandpa). The cookies are not really sweet, but the flavor is wonderful all the same. It's definitely more of an adult cookie. I am guessing on the servings, so please let me know how many cookies it makes and I will post the correction. (I can't make them anymore with regular wheat flour since I have to make everything gluten free) UPDATE: I asked my mom if she ever substituted anything for the brandy and she said she rarely included it and just increased the vanilla to a tsp.

These walnut balls were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I was a little disappointed with these walnut balls. They were too sweet for my taste and the texture was a bit grainy.

These walnut balls were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little bit of moisture next time.
