Step 1: Make the Dough

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
2. Cut in cold butter using a pastry cutter or food processor until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
5. Divide dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).

Step 2: Make the Nut Filling

1. In a medium bowl, mix together chopped nuts, brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
2. The mixture should be slightly sticky but spreadable. Set aside.

Step 3: Assemble the Nut Rolls

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12×8-inch rectangle.
3. Spread half of the nut filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
4. Carefully roll the dough into a log, starting from the long edge, and place seam-side down.
5. Repeat with the second dough disc and remaining filling.

Step 4: Bake the Cookies

1. Place the rolled logs on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
2. Let cool for 10 minutes, then slice into 1-inch cookies while still warm.

Step 5: Glaze & Serve (Optional but delicious!)

1. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk (or lemon juice), and vanilla to make a smooth glaze.
2. Drizzle over cooled cookies and sprinkle with nuts or festive sprinkles.
3. Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes, then enjoy!
