ANNA'S WALNUT-RUM WAFERS



Anna's Walnut-Rum Wafers image

"I love the combination of salty, sweet, and nutty," Anna Kovel says, and this cookie captures the flavors of a walnut tart her mother used to make. Anna hand-chops the nuts and uses dark rum for a festive note. Her perfect pairing? A scoop of vanilla ice cream.
