Nostalgic Almond Nut Cookies

Everyoneʼs favorite delicacy with the taste of childhood! There is probably no person who does not remember from his childhood the taste of these cookies with condensed milk and nuts inside, which were baked by mothers and grandmothers in metal molds, often made in a handicraft way. The most common ones were made in the shape of nuts, but there were cookies with images of squirrels, mushrooms and cones. Modern children also like these cookies. And the Soviet hazel can be used not only on a gas stove, but also on an electric one.

Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
Letʼs prepare the ingredients for the cookies. If you want to make the cookie filling from boiled condensed milk, you can buy it in the store or cook it yourself. But in this case, you need to start cooking it much earlier than you plan to start preparing cookies; you need to cook for about 3-4 hours, depending on what color of condensed milk you want to get. After the milk is cooked, let it cool completely in the jar, then open it.

Step 2

Step 2
All food stored in the refrigerator must be removed in advance so that it is at room temperature. Cut the softened butter into cubes and place in a bowl.

Step 3

Step 3
Beat in two chicken eggs. Grind with a whisk or beat with a mixer into a homogeneous mass.

Step 4

Step 4
Add sugar. Whisk everything again until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 5

Step 5
Add baking soda slaked with vinegar to the dough. Add sifted wheat flour in parts.

Step 6

Step 6
Knead elastic soft dough. You cannot knead the shortbread dough for a long time, otherwise the nuts will turn out hard and not tasty. Wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour.

Step 7

Step 7
We wash the walnuts and dry them in a dry frying pan or in the microwave. They should taste crispy. Grind them with a blender or coffee grinder into coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Step 8
Meanwhile, make the cream. Place condensed milk in a bowl. Add vanillin, softened butter, cut into pieces. Beat everything with a mixer or blender into a homogeneous mass. Place the walnuts in the cream and stir until smooth.

Step 9

Step 9
Divide the dough into equal round balls the size of a walnut. We knead them into flat cakes with our hands and place the oiled hazel cells into the recesses.

Step 10

Step 10
If you have cookies with a different image, you can divide the dough into larger pieces, roll them into flat cakes about 0.3 cm thick and place them on the entire surface of the cookie, greased with butter.

Step 11

Step 11
Cover the dough with the other half of the mold, place it on a heated stove and hold it tightly on the handles, bake the cookie dough until golden brown.

Step 12

Step 12
Cut out the nuts with a knife (the remaining dough can be crushed into crumbs and added to the cream).

Step 13

Step 13
Fill them with cream and glue them together. You can put an almond and a piece of walnut in one half of the cookie. The nut cookies are ready. Bon appetit!
