Horn Walnut Cookies
It takes only a few ingredients to create these elegant and delicious horns. This is a terrific make-ahead recipe because the dough can be made in advance and refrigerated for up to seven days. —Loretta Stokes, Philadephia, Pennsylvania
Ingredients
- 1 cup plus 1 teaspoon butter, softened, divided
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 4 cups ground walnuts
- 1-1/4 cups sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Directions
- 1. Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, beat 1 cup butter and the cream cheese until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes. Gradually add flour, beating until mixture forms a ball. Divide dough into 4 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a 12-in. circle.
- 2. Melt the remaining 1 teaspoon butter. In a large bowl, combine walnuts, 3/4 cup sugar, milk, vanilla, salt and melted butter. Spread over circles. Cut each into 12 wedges. Roll up wedges, starting from the wide ends.
- 3. Place point side down on greased baking sheets. Curve ends to form crescents. Bake until lightly browned, 35-40 minutes. Remove to wire racks.
- 4. Place remaining sugar in a small shallow bowl. Roll warm cookies in sugar. Cool completely.
