| 1 | Butter |

| 2 1/4 | Flour |
| 1 | Walnuts |
| 1 | Sugar |

Instructions:
-
Cream Butter:
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth and creamy.
-
Add Cottage Cheese and Flour:
- Incorporate the cottage cheese and flour into the creamed butter. Mix until well combined, forming a dough-like consistency.
-
Refrigerate Overnight:
- Cover the dough and refrigerate it overnight. This step allows the flavors to meld together and the dough to firm up for easier handling.
-
Roll Out Thin:
- Once chilled, roll out the dough thinly on a floured surface. Aim for a thickness that allows for easy folding.
-
Cut into 3-inch Squares:
- Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into 3-inch squares.
-
Prepare Filling:
- In a separate bowl, combine the walnuts, sugar, and cinnamon to create the filling mixture.
-
Spread Filling:
- Place a small amount of the filling mixture in the center of each dough square.
-
Roll into Cornucopia Shape:
- Carefully roll each square into a cornucopia shape, starting from one corner and rolling towards the opposite corner.
-
Brush with Egg White or Milk:
- Lightly brush each rolled cookie with egg white or milk. This step adds a beautiful shine to the finished cookies.
-
Bake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the rolled cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy!
- Once baked to perfection, allow the cookies to cool slightly before serving. These Polish Horn Cookies are best enjoyed warm with a cup of hot cocoa or your favorite festive beverage. Share them with family and friends during the holiday season for a truly memorable treat!
