ok
spike

Thanks Spike but I already saw that one. This is not a typical cookie batter. These are very light and fluffy, more like meringue. I'm beginning to think one of the reasons we thought they were really neat as kids was that black walnuts tend to taste like booze. We thought they were very 'special' as we figured we were getting a taste of 'forbidden fruit', LOL. Little did we know it was just the special flavor of that type of nut. But I would still like to find the recipe.

Here you go kidlet.
If the one you are wanting is not amongst these let me know I do have a couple more recipes.
Bunyip.
