Advantageous Nut Piles

I'm the responsible person for the Xmas cookie production in my family (the cookie bitch as ABS calls it). My favourite recipe goes back to my great-grandmothers. It fulfils five important requirements of cookie baking: (1) resourceful, (2) fast, (3) easy, (4) cookies taste good, (5) contains booze. Unfortunately, they don't look very pretty. But who cares, when the recipes has so many advantages. Let's start:
  • 500 g of sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 250 g of ground walnuts
  • 250 g of ground hazelnuts
  • Kirsch
Mix sugar and eggs. Add nuts and Kirsch. Make small piles. Bake for 1 hour with approx. 120°C. Hard to mess up, init?
