Ingredients
- 2 Cups Flour
- 1 Cup Butter (2 sticks)
- 3/4 Cup Sour Cream
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Walnuts, finely chopped
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 2 Tablespoons Cinnamon
Preparation
Step 1
In a stand mixer, add the butter and ½ Cup sugar, egg yolk and mix together. Set aside the egg white to use later. Add the sour cream, salt and mix until smooth. Next add the flour slowly until incorporated.
Shape the mixture into a ball and wrap in plastic and chill for one hour or until firm.
In a small bowl add the walnuts, the other ½ cup sugar and cinnamon. Stir and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Divide the dough into 4 parts. Roll out one part to 1/8th inch thick and about a 10" diameter circle. Use a generous amount of flour on your board to prevent sticking. Brush dough with egg white and sprinkle with the cinnamon, walnut and sugar mixture. Cut into 8 equal parts. Begin rolling at the curved edge and place cookies point side down about 2 inches apart. In a small bowl beat the other egg and brush on top of each cookie and sprinkle with a bit of the cinnamon sugar. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
