Filled Walnut Cookies with Vanilla Cream - A Delicacy from Memories During every holiday of my childhood, the aroma of vanilla and the warm scent of golden shells would remind me of the moments spent in my mother's kitchen. This recipe for filled walnut cookies with vanilla cream is more than just a dessert; it’s a journey back in time, filled with nostalgia and joy. Each bite will bring a smile to your face and a warm memory to your heart. Preparation Time: 30 minutes Baking Time: 1 minute and a half per batch Total Time: 1 hour Servings: 20 filled cookies Required Ingredients For the walnut shells: - 2 large eggs - 13 tablespoons of oil - 13 tablespoons of milk - 100 g sugar - 1 tablespoon vanilla extract - 1 packet of baking ammonia - 500 g all-purpose flour - A pinch of salt For the vanilla cream: - 500 g milk - 5 egg yolks - 100 g sugar - 2-3 tablespoons cornstarch - 1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract if you don't have a bean) Preparation Technique 1. Preparing the Dough for the Shells Start by beating the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt in a large bowl using a whisk or mixer. Continue beating until you achieve a fine, frothy mixture. This step is crucial, as a well-beaten foam will ensure a light texture for the shells. 2. Incorporating Wet Ingredients Gradually add the oil, milk, vanilla extract, and the baking ammonia (activate the ammonia with a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice before adding it). Mix well to combine the ingredients. 3. Adding Flour and Achieving Dough Consistency Begin incorporating the flour, one tablespoon at a time. It's essential to mix well after each addition until the dough no longer sticks to the sides of the bowl or your hands. This is when the dough becomes pliable and easy to shape. Once you've achieved the desired texture, cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 30 minutes. 4. Shaping the Shells After the dough has rested, form small balls about the size of a walnut. Preheat the walnut mold thoroughly before starting to bake. Quickly place the balls into the mold, as the dough bakes instantly, and a low flame is ideal for achieving an even golden color. Bake each walnut for about 1 minute and a half or until they turn golden. 5. Preparing the Vanilla Cream Meanwhile, prepare the vanilla cream. In a bowl, mix the egg yolks with the sugar and cornstarch. Then, pour the mixture over the previously heated milk and stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens. If using a vanilla bean, split it lengthwise and add the seeds to the milk at the beginning. 6. Assembling the Walnuts Once the shells have cooled, fill each half with vanilla cream. Then, stick two halves together to form the walnut. Finally, dust the filled cookies with powdered sugar for added flavor and an attractive appearance. Useful Tip To achieve the best results, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, as this will help with even mixing. You can also add a personal touch to this recipe by trying to replace some of the flour with cocoa for chocolate-flavored shells or experimenting with other flavor extracts, such as almond.
