Roshky (spelling varies) is probably the most special recipe in our book. It was handed down from our matriarch, who died a few years ago, and her family was from Slovakia. Roshky are Slovak cookies and our family makes them every Christmas; it’s one of our traditions.
6 c. flour
1 lb butter
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 tsp salt
6 egg yolks
1 1/2 c. milk
1 pkg yeast
Filling:
10 oz walnuts, ground fine in food mill or processor
1 c. sugar
6 egg whites
Powdered sugar and flour for rolling dough
In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender. In a separate bowl, dissolve yeast packet in lukewarm milk. Add slightly beaten egg yolks, reserving egg whites in refrigerator for filling, to the milk. Stir into dry ingredients. Knead in a little flour to make the dough smooth and not so sticky. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to make filling, set out egg whites so they are room temperature before beating. Grind nuts finely. Place ½ to ¾ of egg whites in a bowl. Beat the egg whites with a mixer, gradually add 1 c. sugar while beating egg whites until stiff. Fold the nuts in. If too thick, add more egg white.
Preheat oven to 350°. Use a small amount of flour to work a snowball size piece of dough until smooth and elastic. Use equal parts of powdered sugar and flour on the rolling surface and rolling pin as this helps keep the dough from getting tough. On a cutting board, roll into thin squares and then use a sharp knife to cut the dough into 3″ rectangles. Thinner is better, you may want to then roll the individual pieces a bit. Spread a ½- 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of each piece.
Roll up the dough, shaping into crescents and press to seal the ends. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Place seam down to help hold the filling. Bake about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned.

The very best oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
If you are looking for the ultimate oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, look no further. This is the perfect family recipe. They are chewy and moist and will not last 24 hours, promise! I’ve played around with different ways to incorporate the butter, and have come up with the fastest cookie method ever by simply melting the butter. No stand mixer, no creaming, and it all gets made in one bowl. Yup, one bowl moist delicious cookies you definitely need to make. You will want to create your own cookbook of cookie recipes once you know this recipe!
Ingredients
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup melted salted butter
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup oats
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Melt the butter completely.
In a mixing bowl, mix sugars, then pour in melted butter and whisk for a few minutes. Add the egg and mix for a few minutes. Add vanilla.
Dump flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder and soda on top of mixture, and mix with a spatula until mixed. Add chocolate chips and mix.
Refrigerate dough 30 minutes min- I usually cool it for an hour or so.
Heat oven to 350.
Using a cookie scoop or spoons, spoon dough onto parchment lined cookie sheet, about 1 1/2″ apart.
Bake 10 minutes. When the cookies come out, slam the sheet down onto the counter to flatten the cookies. This makes them extra chewy.
Let cool and move to a rack.
