Kindli Cookies


A very different cookie for your holiday sweets tray. I have not tried this myself.

Steps


Place the flour in a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
Put the whole eggs plus 1 egg yolk into the centre and blend with your fingers.
Add the softened butter and knead together.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and then add to the potatoes.
The warm potatoes will help to activate the yeast.
Puree the potatoes and add to the flour mixture.
Add the sugar , salt , vanilla , lemon rind and enough wine to bind the ingredients together.
Knead well until a firm smooth dough is achieved.
You can divide the dough and work it in the food processor if you wish.
Divide into 6 round balls and let stand , covered , while you make the filling , about 45 minutes.
To make filling , combine all nut filling ingredients and mix well.
Refrigerate until needed.
Preheat oven to 325f degrees.
Punch the dough down and divide each ball of dough again into 6 or 7 small balls.
Roll the dough out and cut circles 3 inches in diameter.
Put 1-1 / 2 tbsp filling in a line down the centre .
