Walnut Horn Cookies
1 cup plus 1 tsp butter,
softened & divided
1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese,
softened
3 cups flour
4 cups ground walnuts
1 1/4 cups sugar, divided
1/2 cup 2% milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
In a large bowl, beat in 1 cup of the butter and the cream cheese until light
and fluffy. Gradually add the flour. Beat until the mixture forms a ball.
Divided the dough into four portions. Roll each into a 12 inch circle. Melt
the remaining butter. In a large bowl, combine the walnuts, 3/4 cup sugar,
milk, vanilla, salt, and the melted butter. Spread over the circles. Cut each
into 12 wedges. Roll up the wedges, starting from the wide ends. Place point
side down on the greased baking sheets. Curve the ends to form crescents. Bake
at 325 F for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks.
Place the remaining sugar in a small shallow bowl. Roll the warm cookies in the
sugar. Makes 4 dozen
