Ingredients: |
|
|
1 lb. butter (no substitutes), softened
11 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 egg yolks
4-1/2 cups all purpose flour
Filling:
4 cups ground walnuts (about 1 pound)
5-3/4 cups confectioners’ sugar, (divided)
4 egg whites
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
|
Directions:
|
In a mixing bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, egg yolks and flour; beat until smooth. Shape into 1-inch balls; place in a container with waxed paper separating each layer. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
FOR THE FILLING, combine walnuts and 3 3/4 cups sugar (the mixture will be dry). In a small mixing bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form; fold into nut mixture. Add extracts and a few drops of water if necessary until filling reaches a spreading consistency.
Place remaining sugar in a bowl; roll cream cheese balls in sugar until completely covered. Place a few balls at a time between two sheets of waxed paper. Roll balls into 2 1/2 inch circles. Gently spread about 2 teaspoons of filling over each. Roll up; place seam side down on ungreased baking sheets. Curve the ends slightly. Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Yield: about 8 dozen.
