This is a recipe of Grandma Sophie
Schweitzer. Recipes of this sort can be found in
many Austrian, Hungarian, and German cookbooks. To
me it isn't Christmas without these cookies as mom and
Grandma made them every year. |
-
1/2 pound butter
-
2 cups flour
-
6 large egg
whites
-
6 large egg yolks
-
1 cup sugar
-
4 cups walnuts
Chop butter into flour, add
yolks and knead into a dough.
Can be done in a food processor
like you would do pie dough.
Form into balls and chill in
refrigerator at least
overnight. Prepare filling a
half at a time, beating egg
whites until stiff. Add the one
cup sugar gradually and fold in
the ground walnuts.
Remove a few dough balls at a
time and roll out about saucer
size. Put a heaping tablespoon
of filling on the dough and fold
over into a crescent shape.
Bake on cookie sheet for 15
minutes at 350 degrees. Yield:
50 kipfel.
