Hungarian cookie recipe?

Question

Im looking for a recipe for some Hungarian cookies.
Now I dont know for certain which ones they are.

These were cookies my grandmother used to make ( she was Italian but learned it from a yugoslavian woman ). My grandmother is passed away now and I would love to have some of those cookies again and no one else seems to know how to make them.

The recipe I have found that seems like it might be the right one is
Hungarian Butterhorn Cookies. The one actually Senator Dick Durbin has in the congress cookbook ( i found it amusing there was one ) looks like it might be it but there are no pictures.

These cookies were rolled up in the shape of a crescent or horn kinda. I remember ground nuts in them and a little powdered sugar. it was like you put the nuts and whatever else on the dough and then rolled it up and put some powdered sugar on them.
those were so good I could eat as many as my grandma would let me.
If anyone can help me out.. a picture would be great too
