Polish Apricot Horns

1. 1

   Blend butter, cottage cheese and flour with hands to form dough. Add more flour if cheese is watery. Shape into 1-inch balls and put in refrigerator overnight. (Dough may be kept under refrigeration for up to one month.).

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0 F. Lightly grease a cookie sheet; set aside.

3. 3

   Cook apricots until tender; drain and puree. Add 2 cups Sugar while still hot. Cool. In a separate bowl, mix almonds and 1 1/4 cup Sugar; set aside.

4. 4

   Press each dough ball into a 3-inch round (make only ten horns at a time so dough will remain cold). Place one teaspoon of apricot filling into center of each round. Roll into shape of horn.

5. 5

   Dip in egg whites and then roll up in sugared almonds. Place on prepared sheet and bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Confectioners Powdered Sugar, if desired.
