Ingredients

1/2 pound butter
2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sour cream
1 egg yolk
3/4 cup finely ground walnuts
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

Combine the butter and flour in a bowl using two knives or a pastry blender until the mixture has broken down into small, uneven pieces. This is often referred to as 'cutting in' the butter and flour mixture.

Next, incorporate the sour cream and egg yolk into the mixture, blending everything together until it forms a cohesive ball.

At this stage, shape the dough into a spherical form and wrap it in plastic wrap to prevent drying out. Refrigerate for an extended period of time, ideally between 8 hours and overnight.

In a separate bowl, combine the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon to create a flavorful mixture.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease two baking sheets with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.

Divide the dough into four equal portions and roll each portion out into a thin circle, approximately 1/8-inch thick. This can be achieved on a lightly floured surface to prevent the dough from sticking.

Spread one-quarter of the walnut mixture onto each circle. Using a pizza wheel, cut each circle into 12 wedge-shaped pieces.

Take each piece of dough and shape it into a crescent by rolling the dough from the wide end towards the center. Transfer these cookies carefully to the prepared baking sheets.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they have turned golden brown. Keep a close eye on the cookies as they bake, as their bottoms tend to darken faster than their tops.
