Italian Nut Rolls Delight

Step 1

Prepare the Dough: Beat the egg yolks in a mixing bowl. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then mix in the beaten yolks. Gradually incorporate the remaining dough ingredients. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Step 2

Prepare the Filling: Beat two of the egg whites to stiff peaks, then blend in the vanilla extract and honey. In a separate bowl, combine the ground walnuts and sugar. Fold the egg white mixture into the walnut mixture, then refrigerate overnight.

Step 3

Roll and Cut the Dough: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). On a surface dusted with a mix of powdered sugar and flour, roll out the chilled dough. Cut into 3-inch squares.

Step 4

Assemble the Rolls: Place 1/2 teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold up two opposite corners to enclose the filling, forming a pocket.

Step 5

Bake: Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg white. Roll the cookies in powdered sugar, then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Once cooled, roll in powdered sugar again.
