Emma was a feisty little neighbor of Gramzie and Grampzie and an amazing baker. Here’s her recipe for (what I believe are) Hungarian Walnut Roll Cookies.

Editors note: The recipe card seemed to be missing a step or two. After a Google search I found a similar recipe and did my best to fill in the blanks.

Cookie base
2 sticks butter

1 8oz cream cheese

2 cups flour

For the filling

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup ground walnuts

Egg whites or milk – enough to create paste like dough

Mix together cookie base and rollout into rectangles. Cut dough into @ 2 inch by 3 inch squares. Fill squares with walnut mixture and fold closed. Dust with sugar (I just made that up but it sounds like a good idea.)

Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes on a cookie sheet.
