Walnut Rum Wafers Cookies

Despite the uncomfortable flu that I am having; I managed to make these Walnut Rum Wafer Cookies last night. They are the most delicious thin crunchy cookies. It is good to have them as a party favor. I put 2 each in a clear plastic cookie packaging and seal it with a christmas ornaments scrapbooking from Martha Stewart. Both items are available at Michaels. 

And oh, I got my new 85 mm Nikon Nikkor lens from Santa today. So I shot below images with the new lens and oh boy.....I love it so much!
