LEMON CHEESE LOGS 
1 c. sugar
1 c. butter, softened
1 (3 oz.) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 egg yolk
2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 c. walnuts, finely chopped
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Decorator candies

Combine sugar, butter and cream cheese; cream until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk, beating well. Stir in flour, walnuts, salt and lemon rind; mix well. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Shape dough by teaspoonfuls into 2-inch logs by rolling between palms of hands. Place cookies on ungreased baking sheets, and bake at 325 degrees for 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool completely on wire racks. Melt chocolate morsels in a small saucepan over low heat. Dip one end of each log in melted chocolate and sprinkle with decorator candy. Let stand on wire racks until chocolate sets. Store between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container. Cookies may be frozen. Yield 12 dozen.
