Theresa's Christmas balls

You don't need an advanced degree to understand that chocolate, sugar, flour and walnuts (milk and Karo Syrup too), make a terrific cookie. I found the recipe for Sicilian Christmas Balls in my mother's cooking file, it was one of my grandmother's holiday standards.

So this year, while it may be a slight disaster (grandma's recipe transcriptions, unlike her food, were not the best), I am going to be sharing with friends Theresa's cookies (not Martha Stewart's).

So far, Harry and Charlotte are big fans.
