No mixers needed.  Just a wooden spoon.

INGREDIENTS:
3 1/2 to 4 Cups All Purpose Flour
6 oz. Red Wine.   Note: If you like the taste of the wine, they are fine for cookies.
6 oz. White Granulated Sugar
6 oz. Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Vanilla
Pinch of Salt
1 Cup of Walnuts, Pounded/Crushed after measuring.
Lots of Cinnamon Sugar Mixture, or make your own.

2. Mix it all well with a wooden spoon. 
3.  Add the Flour.  Start with 3 Cups and add more as needed by feel.  The dough should be wet.
4. Add your crushed walnuts (or desired nuts) and mix together til combined.
Form into 1 1/4- to 1 1/2-inch round balls.  Roll them in Cinnamon Sugar in a small bowl. 
Place on parchment-papered cookie sheet.  Bake at 350*F for 10-12 minutes.


This is what I mean by wet dough.
