Walnut-Shaped Cookies with Dulce de Leche image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • 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.
