Nut horns are a rolled cooked that’s filled with walnuts and sugar.
To make nut horns, you’ll roll the dough into a circle before sprinkling on the filling.
Slice as you would a pizza and roll up each piece to create thecrescent roll-like shape.
Add sour cream and egg yolk; mix well.
Shape the dough into a ball.
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
Make Filling
Combine walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Prep Baking Sheets
Preheat oven to 350F.
Lightly grease 2 baking sheets or line with parchment paper.
Roll Dough
Cut dough into 4 equal pieces.
Roll each piece into a 9-inch circle (1/8-inch-thick) on a lightly floured surface.
Transfer cookies carefully to the baking sheets with small pointed edge of dough on the bottom.
Test Kitchen Tip: As you roll up each cookie, some of the walnut mixture will fall out.
We scrape this up and add it to the remaining nut mixture.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes.
Watch cookies carefully as they bake; their bottoms tend to brown faster than their tops.
Let cookies cool 2 minutes on baking sheet.
Carefully toss in sugar, if desired, and let cool completely on wire rack.
