Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
Dough:
1 pound butter (4 sticks) -- softened
1 pound cream cheese
4 cups flour
Filling:
2 pounds walnuts -- ground
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons almond extract
1 small can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon -- optional
Place butter, cream cheese and flour in mixing bowl and mix by hand. Divide dough into 4 parts and chill.
Mix together filling; adding milk gradually, using enough to make a stiff paste. Roll one part of dough very thin, using powdered sugar instead of flour to roll dough out in. Sift it on dough as you roll. Cut crosswise to form 2-inch squares.
Place heaping teaspoon of nut mixture into center of squares. Roll each corner to opposite corner and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 400 F. for 7-10 minutes. (Do not overbake!) Sift with powdered sugar.
Yields: 200 cookies
