Made these for Christmas, everyone loved them. Wished I had made more. Next year I will. Then again maybe I'll make some for Easter Brunch. Thanks for sharing. -
My grandma used to make these...they called them idiot cookies, because anyone who would take the time to make 'em was an idiot....recipe is dead on...

Only need one batch of filling for two batches of dough. I baked 12 minutes minutes for that little crunch. Leave dough in frig while you work on each rollout. Only use regular dried yeast packet, not fast acting. Recipe does not use whole packet so need to measure. Closest taste to my childhood Christmas memory of Christmas butter horns.
