With nut filling

This recipe was popular in the days of mothers and grandmothers. The homemade taste of childhood cookies stuffed with nuts and honey will impress many.

For the test you will need:

wheat flour - 750 g;
peasant butter (butter) - 150 g;
sour cream - 250 g;
a pinch of salt.

The specified amount of ingredients makes two full baking sheets of walnut shortbread.

Sugar is better to take finely ground. I take a regular one, put it in a blender and grind it.
The salt is not required in the recipe, but it will brighten the taste of the cookie.
You can take any starch: corn, and if not, then potato. If neither one nor the other was at hand (and this also happens), and the cookies are passion as you want, then you can replace the starch with the same amount of flour.
I had an egg weighing about 57-60 grams.
The butter should be softened before baking, but not completely melted.

Lightly mix the egg with salt. Grind the nuts in a blender.
In a bowl, combine chopped nuts, egg, sugar, vanilla essence (or vanillin), sifted flour with starch.

Mix everything well and quickly. The longer you stir, the more the butter will melt and the harder the cookies will be.
Cover the dough or wrap it in foil and refrigerate for about an hour.

Roll out the dough about 0.5 centimeters thick on a well-floured table. If necessary, sprinkle a little both the rolling pin and the dough on top.
Cut cookies with cookie cutters.

Place cookies on a baking sheet lined with oiled baking paper. By the way, I always buy only oiled paper, absolutely nothing and never sticks to it.

Cookies must be placed (!) In an oven preheated to 170 degrees.
Bake for about 12 minutes. It should turn beautifully ruddy.

Then you can sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar.
Or buy tubes of ready-made icing and coat the cookies. Until the frosting is frozen, half a walnut can be glued in the middle.
Or you can make the glaze yourself. Since I am quite familiar with the glaze, I did just that. But here you need to know the consistency very well. The approximate proportions of my frosting are: 70 grams of powdered sugar, about 1 tablespoon of raw egg white and half a teaspoon of lemon juice. To mix everything. The glaze should keep its shape, not spread. Put it in a bag, make a tiny hole and draw patterns on the cookies.

Sometimes it seems that it is the smell of fresh baked goods that creates a certain mood and gives a feeling of coziness in the house. It is so nice to sit with the whole family at the table, enjoy a cup of fragrant tea, sincere conversations and the taste of homemade cookies. Especially adults and children love cookies with nuts.

Cooking

Grind honey, granulated sugar and butter in a separate bowl. We break the eggs so as to carefully separate the whites from the yolks. First, add the yolks and flour to the dough. We knead. From the total volume of the dough, we form small balls, the size of a table tennis ball. Typically, one serving makes about fifteen balls.

Now it's the turn of the nuts. They need to be ground into small crumbs using a blender or food processor. If the technique is not at hand, then a regular rolling pin and mortar will do. Dip the balls of dough first in the proteins, then in the nut mixture. We put them on a baking sheet, making small indentations with your finger in the middle.

We put the oven thermometer at around 170. It takes about twenty minutes to bake the cookies. In the middle of the process, remove the baking sheet and push through the center again. When the dessert is ready, put a spoonful of jam or your favorite homemade jam in the center hole. Now homemade cookies with nuts are ready. The recipes do not end there ...

After wetting our hands, we form balls. Oatmeal nut cookies can be of any shape. But, as a rule, the balls just need to be flattened slightly on top, making a small pancake. So it will cook, it will be delicious, crispy and crumbly.

Composition:

for 50 pieces

4-5 st. tablespoons of water or lemon juice

Nut Biscuit Recipe:

Making the nut cookie dough is easy! First, grind the hazelnuts and almonds into flour. The uniformity of our cookies depends on how finely the nuts are ground. So I, of course, do it in a coffee grinder.
Grinding nuts
Add powdered sugar and cinnamon to the nuts. Stir still one more time.
Add cinnamon and powder
On the finest grater, rub the top of the skin of one orange. It turns out about 1 tablespoon of zest with a slide.
Orange peel
Mix water and lemon juice in a separate container. Add liquid, zest to the nut-sugar mass and knead the dough for our cookies. The dough will stick to your hands a little - this is normal.
Nut cookie dough
And so we turn into a wizard and begin to create and shape cookies. The dough sticks a little to your hands and to the rolling pin, but it doesn't matter! It is very convenient to roll out a layer of dough directly on a silicone baking mat, form cookies on it and don’t remove them from there again, but bake immediately by transferring the mat to a baking sheet.
First of all, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface. Roll out a layer of dough the size of our rug. Adjust the thickness of the dough yourself - nut cookies will turn out delicious in any case.

For ease of rolling, it is better to grease the rolling pin with vegetable oil and then the dough will not stick to it. We cut out cookies of any shape, I made stars.

Cut out the cookies
Carefully remove the rest of the dough between the cookies. It is not for nothing that they say that "the leftovers are sweet", I usually have a part of the dough that does not live up to baking and is eaten just like that - it is also very tasty.
Nut stars
Now you need to let the liver rest and dry for about 4 hours at room temperature. When the cookies are dry, they can be moved much easier by prying them with a spatula and not breaking the shape.
We put the cookies on the empty spaces on the rug. You can lay it quite tightly, keeping a minimum distance so that the stars simply do not touch each other. When baked, walnut cookies do not increase in size.

Leave to dry
We bake cookies for a very short time, about 3-5 minutes in a preheated oven at 250 degrees. There should be such a blush and a small crust, but when hot it will seem soft. After cooling, the cookies will harden, so do not hold them for more than 3-5 minutes, otherwise you will get Christmas crackers. I got about 50 pieces of stars.
Bake
While our walnut cookies are cooling, let's do the icing. We mix powdered sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice (or water) in one container. I indicate the number of ingredients for the glaze on the basis of about 50 stars. If you rolled out a thicker layer and you got fewer pieces, then accordingly less glaze will be needed.
At first glance, it seems that there is a lot of cinnamon - both in the dough, and even in the glaze itself. But believe me, in combination with the sweetness of the powder and the sourness of lemon, you don't feel too much. And if you love the taste and aroma of cloves, you can add a small pinch of ground cloves to the glaze. Only a little is better, otherwise its rich taste will overpower all the other ingredients.
We put the icing on the cooled cookies and let it set well and harden.

We enjoy incredibly spicy, aromatic and magical festive stars!

Nut cookies are ready

Moreover, these nut cookies can be beautifully packaged and presented to your family and friends. They will feel your love and soul, which is invested in every little bit of this magic star.
