Submitted by: Clyde
1 egg
3 ounces walnut meats, ground
4 ounces walnut meats, coarsely chopped
6 packages Sunette artificial sweetener
1 tablespoon walnut oil
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon maple flavor

Note: This recipe began its life as a macaroon--the source of the baking method. I still find it the easiest way. However, it can be baked the regular way--but be careful not to overbrown--the cookies are still edible but not as nice.
