Description

These sweet crescent-shaped cookies have been a family favorite for 4 generations and counting. Straight out of my grandma’s recipe box, these butter horns will find a place in your heart and quite possibly on your behind.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • ⅛ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ pounds Cold Butter (1 Cup Or 2 Sticks)
  • ¾ cups Sour Cream
  • 1 whole Egg Yolk
  • ¾ cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¾ cups Walnuts
  • 10 dashes Powdered Sugar, For Dusting

Preparation

In large bowl, combine flour, salt, and butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in sour cream and egg yolk until dough comes together; you may want to use your hands. Form into a fat disc shape, wrap in waxed paper and refrigerate 2-3 hours.

To form cookies, remove dough from fridge and let it warm up for 5-10 minutes while you make the filling. In a food processor, combine sugar, cinnamon and walnuts. Pulse the mixture until the nuts have practically become almost as small as the sugar granules.

Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Flour your board liberally and roll out one piece of dough into a circle that is 12-14 inches across and 1/8 inch thick. You want the circle to be pretty even, but it doesn’t doesn’t have to be perfect.

Sprinkle on 1/4th of the sugar walnut mixture over the entire circle. Using a sharp knife, cut dough into 12 even triangular pieces (just like you’re cutting a pie). Roll up each triangle tightly, starting at the wide end to form crescent shapes. Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Continue this process with remaining dough and filling.

Bake at 300 degrees for 25-30 minutes. When you take them out of the oven, the cookies should be pretty much dry to the touch. (If you are using a non-stick darker cookie sheet, these are going to cook faster. You want the bottoms of the cookies to be light brown, not dark brown! So be careful.)

After 5 minutes, remove cookies onto a cooling rack and dust with powdered sugar. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
