Hey, thanks for that calamari recipe! I do LOVE calamari!

Here's the Delictibite recipe. Lisa and I have been best friends since we were 10 years old. The first Christmas that I visited her house (in 1975), her mother served these delicious cookies, and I was entranced with them. Eighteen years later, at my bridal shower, she presented me with her recipe, and I have been making multiple batches of them for Christmas ever since.

DELECTIBITES

- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup flour
- 2 TBS. sugar
- 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- powdered sugar

1) Combine butter, sugar and vanilla, and mix well
2) Stir in flour and walnuts
3) Chill one hour
4) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5) Shape into marble-sized balls and bake
on ungreased cookie sheet 15-17 minutes. DO NOT
BROWN!
6) Remove and roll cookies in powdered sugar while
still warm. (Careful of your fingers; they
get HOT!)

Thank you so very much for your wonderful recipes, I can't wait to try them. All of my time has been taken up with the wrapping and mailing of our great cookbook so that folks can get them for the holidays. So this year I've missed most of the cookie production around the family homes, but the first chance I get I will put these great favorites to the test on my brood... ;) Don't stop sending...LOL
