HONEY NUT COOKIES (MADE WITH A YEAST DOUGH)

Steps:

• In a mixer bowl, combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water, sour cream, and butter until very warm (120 to 130 degrees). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Add eggs, honey, vanilla, and 1 / 2 cup flour; beat 2 minutes at high speed. Return to lower speed to stir in remaining flour and make a stiff batter. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours.
• Remove dough from refrigerator. Divide dough in half; returning half to refrigerator. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Roll remaining dough to 12-inch square using 1 / 2 sugar mixture instead of flour on the board or surface where you roll out the dough. Let dough sit a moment while you make the honey Glaze.
• To make Honey Glaze: In a bowl, combine 1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted and 1/3 cup honey. Stir until well blended. Brush dough with Honey Glaze. Roll up tightly like you would for a jelly roll. Pinch seam to seal. Using a sharp knife cut into 12 equal slices. Place cut side down on greased baking sheet. Flatten to 1/4 inch thickness. Brush with Honey Glaze. Then sprinkle with chopped pecans, pressing nuts into dough. Repeat with remaining half of dough, sugar mixture, Honey Glaze and pecans.
• Bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes or until done. Remove from baking sheets; cool on wire rack.

MOM'S NUT HORNS

• Combine walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 2 baking sheets.
• Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 1/8-inch thick circle on a lightly floured surface. Spread 1/4 of the walnut mixture on each circle; cut each circle into 12 wedge-shaped pieces with a pizza wheel.
• Shape each piece of dough into a crescent by rolling dough from the wide end of the wedge into the center. Transfer cookies carefully to the baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Watch cookies carefully as they bake; their bottoms tend to brown faster than their tops.

Using about a fourth of the dough at a time, keeping the remaining dough in the refrigerator, roll dough out onto a floured surface into about a 9 inch circle. Cut into 16 crescent shapes from circle. (like very small pizza slices) :) (see how nice and even mine are? lol!) Doesnt matter, they still taste wonderful!
• 4. FOR THE NUT FILLING: Combine all ingredients and mix well.
• 5. Spoon a tiny bit of filling onto the broad end of the crescent slices and roll from broad side to short side like a crescent. Place seam side down, pressing gently to make sure they dont unroll.
