4 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. butter, softened
1 pt. vanilla ice cream, softened
3/4 c. milk
2 8-oz. pkgs. walnuts, finely chopped
1 c. sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
Garnish: powdered sugar

Combine flour, butter and ice cream in a large bowl; mix well. Form dough into 4 balls; wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 8 hours. In a saucepan, heat milk just to boiling; pour into a boil and let cool slightly. To milk, add walnuts, sugar and vanilla; stir in a little more milk if too thick. Turn out one chilled dough ball onto a powdered sugar-covered surface. Roll out dough into a circle, 1/8-inch thick. With a pizza cutter, cut circle into 12 wedges. Spread 2 teaspoons walnut mixture onto each wedge; don't overfill. Starting on the wide end, roll up each wedge and form into a crescent shape. Arrange cookies on ungreased baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough balls. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm. Let cool. Store in an airtight container. Makes 4 dozen.
