Notes


Makes16 Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 sticks of butter, room temperature
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In medium bowl, combine flour, sour cream, softened butter & egg yolk.

  2. When completely incorporated, make into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap & refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

  3. Cut dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap to keep moist.

  4. On floured surface, roll the dough into a circle about 1/4-inch thick.

  5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Mix all ingredients in small bowl.

  6. Spread half of filling on circle of rolled dough. With sharp knife, cut dough in quarters.

  7. Cut each quarter into four pieces, making 16 long & narrow triangles.

  8. Starting at the large end, roll up like a crescent roll, all the way to the end.

  9. Place tip side down on parchment paper on baking sheet. Curl both sides slightly down to form a crescent shape.

  10. Roll up all 16 cookies, then clean your floured board & repeat with second half of dough.

  11. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, watching carefully. With any spilled sugar around them, they tend to burn easily.
