Cookies on yolks with walnuts

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   If you want to whip up some sweet, delicious pastries for your tea, check out this recipe in which I’ll tell you how to bake nut cookies. We take products according to the list. We will need the butter to melt, so take it out of the refrigerator in advance and leave it at room temperature for a while.

2. STEP 2

   

   Let's start preparing the dough. In a deep bowl, combine the butter and sugar, grind everything well with a spoon. Add egg yolks (you can add a whole egg, the yolks just make the dough more crumbly and tender). Mix everything thoroughly until a homogeneous paste is obtained.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add chopped chopped walnuts. I used already shelled nuts from the store, if yours are not shelled, then you will have to spend a little more time preparing them to beat them, peel them and remove the kernels. We chop the nuts with a knife with a sharp wide blade or cover them with a bag and lightly hit them with a kitchen hammer. There is no need to grind them too much to avoid crumbs - after all, the nuts should be felt well in the dough.

4. STEP 4

   

   Add sifted flour and knead the dough.

5. STEP 5

   

   The dough is soft and tender; if it is too sticky, add a little flour. It is always better to first add less flour than the norm indicated in the composition, and then add it, since the flour of all housewives can be different and have a different percentage of gluten. Although it may take a little more flour than I indicated. Focus on the consistency of the dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   We form a rope from the dough and cut it into equal-sized pieces the size of a walnut, which we then roll into balls. You can pinch off the dough with your hands. Place the pieces on a baking sheet at a short distance from each other (the cookies will increase slightly in size in the oven).

7. STEP 7

   

   Bake in a preheated oven at 190 C for 15 minutes. During this time it will be covered with a golden crust. Cool the cookies, sprinkle with powdered sugar (optional) and serve with tea. Enjoy your tea!

Oh, Irisha, these cookies should be softer than the previous ones, they contain baking powder, flour, butter and yolks, but I liked the white ones so much that I won’t want to change them for others for a long time, I’m thinking about kneading a batch again one of these days, It turned out two against me last time, you can’t eat too many of them - they are very filling, we still have them...

Shurochka, these cookies are also very tasty, tender and crumbly) although there will be fewer nuts here than those cookies) I cook in small portions, my husband has a sweet tooth, he also brings sweets with him to work, so I have to bake often Irish, thanks for kind words, yes, the cookies turn out to be shortbread, and the nuts really complement the taste, it’s especially tasty when you come across the nuts in large pieces

Thank you, Irisha! I haven't baked cookies in 1000 years. And here are the yolks left after the meringue roll. And your recipe came in handy! The cookies turned out crumbly and very tasty!
