NUT HORNS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour and salt. Add shortening, 4 beaten eggs, evaporated milk, yeast and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix as much as you can in the bowl, then turn out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Place into an oiled bowl, cover and chill overnight.
• To make the filling: Melt margarine and stir in sugar. Mix in the cinnamon and walnuts; remove from heat and set aside to cool. When the nuts are cooled, stir in the egg and just enough of the milk to moisten the filling.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Roll out dough to 1/4 inch in thickness. Sprinkle some of the remaining sugar over the dough. Cut into small triangles about 3 inches long and 2 inches at the base. Put a teaspoon of filling at the base of the triangle and roll towards the point. Roll in sugar and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from baking sheets to cool on wire racks.

ROSHKY (SLOVAK COOKIES)

Steps:

• Cream together thoroughly the butter and cream cheese.
• Blend in the flour.
• If mixture is sticky add a little more flour until the dough is easy to handle.
• Divide dough into four equal balls; flatten, then wrap each in waxed paper and chill thoroughly.
• To make filling, mix together walnuts and sugar, adding enough milk or beaten egg white to make a paste-like mixture.
• One at a time, roll out each chilled piece of dough (use confectioner's sugar for rolling as you would use flour in making pastry), until a little thinner than pie dough.
• Cut into 2-inch squares.
• Put 1/2 teaspoon filling in the middle of each square.
• Roll up. Seal ends. (Mrs. Mikosz does not say if you are to roll them end-to-end like a log or corner-to-corner. I remember seeing many corner-to-corner cookies so will try both and see how they turn out - please let me know what you do too).
• With a fork, dipped in confectioner's sugar, shape into cresents.
• Bake in a preheated 375F oven, on ungreased cookie sheets, for 20 minutes, or until golden. (dharmabean shared that 15 minutes was enough in her oven - see her review).
• Cool on rack.
• Sift confectioner's sugar over the tops.
