I prepared this cake several times in the past but was not ready to share it until I figured out an easier way of handling this delicate dough.
The original recipe calls for lekvar as one of the fillings, but since I am not a big fan of lekvar, I tried other flavors of the Solo cake filling instead, including my own apple filling included with this recipe.
This recipe is from the Traditional Ukrainian Cookery cookbook by Savella Stechishin (pg.415) if you have her book. This book was extremely popular in the 1970s, and now you still can find it on Amazon.com.

This recipe is very special to me, because every time I make these Nut Horns, I think of the two ladies who shared it with me.
Baking with ginger puts me in a Christmas festive mood as the sweet aroma of baked goods fills my kitchen, and extends throughout the rest of the house.
My grandson loves plain cookies, so these Crispy Ginger Cookies make him smile and feel special.
These jumbo cookies are full of chocolate goodness,with crispy bottom, yet a soft and chewy middle.
Total perfection wrapped up superbly in one and all.
