How to Make Hungarian Nut Cookies
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened margarine and 1 cup of cottage cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add 4 cups of all-purpose flour, mixing until a smooth, soft dough forms.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough into a circle about 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Prepare the filling: In a food processor or blender, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of finely chopped walnuts (or your favorite nuts) until finely chopped and well mixed.
- Place about 1 teaspoon of the nut filling in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough circle in half to enclose the filling, pressing the edges firmly to seal.
- Gently form each half-circle into a crescent shape.
- Sprinkle the crescents generously with granulated sugar.
- Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Baking time may vary depending on the size of your cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
