These shortbread-style cookies always mean Christmas at our house. Chocolate lovers officially know it as a new holiday treat when it usually comes to desserts.

Ingredients

1 cup butter
3 oz. cottage or cream cheese
1 egg yolk
2 ½ cups flour
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. grated lemon peel

Refrigerate dough at least 2 hours. Shape dough into "logs" - roughly 3 inches by ¾ inches.
Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 325° F until lightly browned (about 17 minutes); cool.
Melt chocolate bits in a double boiler. Dip one end of each bar into melted chocolate, and then into the nonpareils.
