These cookies have crunchy nuts and chocolate on a butter shortbread base. It's a recipe that you will surely make over and over again.

This simple recipe is very easy to make but very decadent too. It reminds me of a perfect nutty chocolate bar on a shortbread cookie.

I've made these bars quite a few times and sometimes substitute other nuts in the recipe too. Practically any nuts will work. Just choose your favourite nuts to make your own version.

These cookies also freeze very well and are another highly recommended recipe for the Holiday freezer. They will most likely be in mine this year!
