These I made seperate from the cookies and I had a hard time keeping up with orders for them.

1 pkg. dry yeast (2 1/4 t.)
1/2 pint sour cream
3 egg yolks
1 t. vanilla
1 # soft margerine (4 sticks)
5 cups flour

"Filling"

1/2 # ground walnuts
1/2 # ground pecans
1 stick margerine (melted)
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 t. vanilla

Mix 1st. 5 ingredients, add flour,when well mixed, divide dough into 7 parts, make round patties and refrigerate at least 2 hours., or up to 2 days....roll each pattie on ""generously covered"" board of powdered sugar,..(important step, as this activates the yeast) .... do not scrape the board between rolling out each patty, just add a little more powdered sugar each time.
Roll each pattie into a circle about 12-14 wide and about 1/8 inch thick. cut across and down into 4ths, then 8ths, then 16ths. as you would a pie into wedges.( I use a pastry wheel cutter but you can use knife )
On the outer edge of each wedge put about 1/2 to 3/4 t. of filling,,,,roll each up to center (small nut roll)...put each on baking sheet and bake @ 375* for 20 to 25 minutes....until golden....cool, dust with powdered sugar.....makes 112 very flaky,and delicious little nut rolls
