Acorns

My mother used to make these cookies every year for the holidays, and it's nice to see they're on recipeland. Instead of hand molding the cookies into the acorn shape, she used to use a teaspoon to form the cookies. You still put the chocolate and nuts on the fat end of the cookie, but it's a little quicker to make them using the spoon.
