Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine 200 grams of all-purpose flour, 100 grams of softened unsalted butter, and 50 grams of powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Add in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, followed by 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder. Stir this mixture until it forms a soft dough.

Step 2

Shape and Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take small portions of the dough and shape them into oval pieces. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake the cookies in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden. Once baked, let them cool completely before filling.

Step 3

Make the Cream Filling

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the cream filling by mixing 150 grams of sweetened condensed milk with 50 grams of softened unsalted butter.

Whip this mixture until it is fluffy and well combined. This will create a deliciously creamy filling for your cookies.

Step 4

Assemble the Cookies

Once the cookies are completely cool, take a cookie and spread a generous amount of the cream filling on the flat side. Place another cookie on top to create a sandwich.

Repeat this process until all cookies are filled, then enjoy your delightful nut cookies!

Servings

Serving these charming cookies is all about presentation! Place a dozen on a vibrant plate, and sprinkle some cocoa powder or grated chocolate on top for a gourmet touch. Don't forget to offer a side of fresh berries for a pop of color and added freshness. These cookies pair beautifully with a warm cup of tea or coffee ☕️, making them perfect for afternoon gatherings or cozy evenings at home.

For a fun twist, why not organize a dessert bar? Stack these nut cookies next to other delightful treats like brownies or mini cupcakes and watch as your guests mix and match their favorites! There’s something special about sharing delicious sweets with loved ones, after all.

Variations

Looking for some exciting twists? Here are **two** options to try out! 🍽️
Gluten-Free Nut Cookies:

Substitute regular flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend. This way, you can enjoy the same delicious flavors while keeping it gluten-free!

Vegan Nut Cookies:

Replace the butter with coconut oil and use a plant-based milk for the cream filling. You won’t miss the dairy with these creamy vegan cookies!

Faq

  • What if I don't have a cookie press?

    You can use your hands to roll the dough into small balls, then gently flatten them before baking. They will still taste delicious!

  • Can I make the cream filling ahead of time?

    Absolutely! The cream filling can be made and stored in the refrigerator a few days before assembling the cookies.

  • What’s the best way to store leftover cookies?

    Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them and they'll last for a few months!

  • Can I add different flavors to the cream filling?

    Definitely! Try adding vanilla extract, almond extract, or even a hint of citrus zest for a fun flavor twist.

  • How can I make my cookies crunchier?

    To achieve crunchier cookies, bake them a minute or two longer, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning!

  • What type of nuts work best in this recipe?

    While any chopped nuts are delicious, hazelnuts or walnuts give an incredible flavor that complements the cream filling perfectly!
