Walnut Shaped Cookies With Dulce De Leche Recipes

SIMPLE WALNUT COOKIES WITH DULCE DE LECHE (ORESHKI)

Steps:

• Melt unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stove. In a bowl, whisk together 3 eggs and 1 cup sugar. Whisk in melted butter. In a separate small dish, juice half a lemon and add ½ teaspoon baking soda. Let it foam then add into the bowl with eggs and sugar. Add 1 cup flour and 1 cup corn starch to the bowl. Mix everything with a spoon until well combined. The dough should not be super runny. Heat up the nut maker and once ready, place ¼ teaspoon of the dough and close the machine. It will take about a minute for them to cook and be golden. Once finished, take each nut out and pace on a cutting board or counter for quick cooling. If there is too much dough around the walnuts, cut off the extra. Place the cooled nut half into a bowl as you finish the rest of the batter. Fill each nut with the cooked dulce de leche and bring two halfs together to make a whole. Enjoy!

WALNUT-SHAPED COOKIES WITH DULCE DE LECHE

Steps:

• Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour and salt and mix until just incorporated; overmixing will make the dough too stiff. Cover the dough with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, or up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Press about 1 teaspoonful of the chilled dough into the bottom and up the sides of each walnut-shaped mold. Place the molds on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned around the edges, 12 to 18 minutes. Cool for a few minutes. Lightly tap on the bottom of the mold to pop out the cookies. Let cool until easily handled.
• Spoon some dulce de leche onto the bottom of each cookie and sandwich the halves together.
