1.5 lb chopped walnuts 
1 tbs cocoa powder

 Eggs and butter should be in room temperature, mix all ingredients together flour, baking powder, eggs and flour. And place the dough in refrigerator for 30 min to 1 hr. Take the dough out and  divided in 3 parts. Each part place in a parchment paper and cover it with another parchment paper. With a rolling pin open it in a square 1/2 inch thick. ( shape it as much as you can) take of the top paper and spread the filling(like in the photo) with the help of the bottom paper roll it and put it in refrigerator for another hour. Take it out and cut it in finger wide parts. And place it widely on the  baking tray which is covered in parchment paper also. Leave enough space because they tend to rise . Bake in 375 for 25 min. Let them cool a bit and take them carefully of the tray and put it in  another one a bit deeper. Syrup 70 tbs of sugar( good luck counting) and 1200 ml water and three slices of lemon. Boil them together for 8 min after the boiling point. And let it cool for a little. Syrup and dessert should be warm. Cover and leave it overnight.
