    Hungarian Butterhorn Cookies


    Source of Recipe


    The Honorable Dick Durbin United States Senator, Illinois

    Recipe Introduction


    Senator Dick Durbin first obtained this recipe about 40 years ago, when he was a paperboy for the now-defunct East St. Louis Journal (the same paper that the late Congressman Melvin Price once wrote for as a sports reporter). One Christmas, a customer gave Durbin a box of these cookies, which proved so popular with the entire family that he went back for the recipe. Durbin's mother baked them every Christmas.
