In a medium pot, put together the sugar, water, cinnamon stick and rose or orange blossom water. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally to thicken, to obtain a syrup not too thick.
While the syrup is simmering, mix the nuts, biscuits and ground cinnamon in a bowl.
Once the syrup is ready, add the walnuts mixture to the pot, stir and cook for about 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat and let stand.
With the aid of two teaspoons, take portions of the nuts and syrup mixture and form little balls the size of a cherry and roll over the confectioners sugar. Put in the paper tins and let stand.
