Recipe Summary Walnut-Shaped Cookies With Dulce De Leche

Growing up in Latvia, these cookies filled with dulce de leche are the most delicious ones that my Mom and I made together. Walnut cookie molds can be found online.

Ingredients | Wilton Cake Pan Shapes

½ cup butter, softened

⅓ cup white sugar

1 egg, lightly beaten

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

1 (13.4 ounce) can dulce de leche

Directions

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.

Other thick fillings can be used, such as any nut butter or Nutella(R).
