Nut Horn Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Nut Horn Cookies.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious journey, grab a mixing bowl and cut the butter into the flour using two knives or a pastry blender.

2. Step 2

   Keep mixing until the texture resembles coarse crumbs, which is the perfect base for your dough.

3. Step 3

   Next, add in the sour cream and egg yolk, stirring until everything is well combined and forms a cohesive mixture.

4. Step 4

   Now, shape the dough into a ball, wrap it snugly in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight.

5. Step 5

   This step is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

6. Step 6

   While you wait, let’s prepare the filling! In a small bowl, mix together the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon until well blended.

7. Step 7

   This fragrant mixture will add a delightful sweetness to your cookies.

8. Step 8

   When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease two baking sheets to ensure your cookies come off easily.

9. Step 9

   Take the chilled dough and divide it into four equal pieces.

10. Step 10

    On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a circle about 1/8-inch thick.

11. Step 11

    Spread one-fourth of the walnut mixture over each circle, allowing the flavors to shine through.

12. Step 12

    Now comes the fun part! Using a pizza wheel, cut each circle into 12 wedge-shaped pieces.

13. Step 13

    Starting from the wide end of each wedge, gently roll the dough towards the center to create a lovely crescent shape.

14. Step 14

    Carefully transfer your beautifully shaped cookies to the prepared baking sheets, making sure to give them a little space to expand.

15. Step 15

    Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.

16. Step 16

    Keep an eye on them, as the bottoms may brown faster than the tops.

17. Step 17

    Once they’re done, let the aroma fill your kitchen and enjoy the delightful treats you’ve just created!.
