Mom's Nut Horns

Ingredients

• 0.5 pounds butter
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups sour cream
• 1 egg yolk

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut butter into flour in a bowl using 2 knives or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add sour cream and egg yolk; mix well. Shape the dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.

2. 2

   Combine walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.

3. 3

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.

4. 4

   Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/8-inch thick circle on a lightly floured surface. Spread 1/4 of the walnut mixture on each circle; cut each circle into 12 wedge-shaped pieces with a pizza wheel.

5. 5

   Shape each piece of dough into a crescent by rolling dough from the wide end of the wedge into the center. Transfer cookies carefully to the baking sheets.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Watch cookies carefully as they bake; their bottoms tend to brown faster than their tops.
