• 3 egg yolks from med. sized eggs

Directions:
Dough
1. Prepare dry ingredients: using a food processor or pastry blender, blend the butter into the flour, creating a coarse crumb-like consistency
2. Prepare wet ingredients, mis the egg yolks and sour cream in a bowl
3. Make the dough: add the flour mixture to the egg mixture. Blend and knead lightly until the consistency is like a pie dough. Shape into small, walnut sized balls, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour

Filling
1. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites until fluffy. Add 1/3 of the sugar at a time and beat until well blended and the mixture is stiff
2. Gently fold in the nuts

Assemble
1. Coat the dough balls: whisk together two tablespoons of all purpose flour and two tablespoons of sugar in a medium bowl. Take half of the dough balls out of the refrigerator and roll them into the flour/sugar mixture. (keep the rest chilled)
2. Roll the dough: Roll the balls out on a small amount of flour/sugar mixture into a thin circle
3. Fill the dough: place a heaping teaspoon of filling on each dough circle and roll it up into a crescent shape. Pinch ends tightly. Place seam-side down on a parchment lined baking sheet
4. Repeat the above steps with the rest of the dough and filling
5. Bake the cookies at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
6. Cool slightly
7. Coat the cookies: Roll the warm cookies in a bowl of confectioners (powdered) sugar.

Make sure to roll your dough very thin or they will puff up and crack
