Recipe: Hungarian Nut Cookies

Ah and here is our famous recipe. Everyone asks us for these cookies every holiday season, and it has come to be that time again! We have made them tonight to take to our friend's house tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Hopefully you can make your own cookies sometime and get just as much love and praise as we have in the past! The cookies have even won multiple baking awards! 
Follow the photos at the bottom to complete the cookies once the dough and filling are made.
