The parchment paper is very important to use. These cookies are very sticky. Even with the paper it is best to let them cool a couple of minutes before trying to take them off the cookie sheet. If you do not like walnuts, substitute almonds.

Turbinado sugar is raw cane sugar and is often used as a substitue for brown sugar.
