[Sca-cooks] Maybe OOP? Looking for German walnut cookie recipie

[Terry Decker]

Are you sure it's walnuts, not hazelnuts?  The ones with which I am familiar 
are powdered hazelnut and a little flour mixed with some butter and some 
sugar, baked in the shape of a cresent and then rolled in powdered sugar.
