Crispy Mixed Nuts Cookies - Crunchy Munchy!

Typing on the keyboard full of crumbs while I was also munching on these delicious crunchy cookies. I personally not a big fan of crispy kind, but these are results of me and my sister baking session at home on the past weekend.
We altered the recipe to tone down the sweetness and this time we found the balance of tastes, slightly sweet, salty and buttery with the crunchy texture of all nuts in them. As these ones have less flour in proportion, more on nuts and that is one of my weakness, I'm on the third one now and seems to keep going. I was surprised also how easy it is to make them. My sister is kind enough to let me share her recipe with you. Let me know how you like them when you try the recipe.

Get ready for your crunchy munchy time.
