Cardamom Walnut Cookies

 



Ingredients

  • ·         Dough
  • ·         2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ·         4 ounces cold unsalted butter, cut into chunks
  • ·         1 cup sour cream
  • ·         2 large egg yolks
  • ·         Filling:
  • ·         ¾ - 1 cup walnuts, coarsely ground
  • ·         ¼ cup granulated sugar (increase to taste, up to ½ cup)
  • ·         ½ teaspoon ground cardamom (or to taste)
  • ·         Top:
  • ·         ¼ cup powdered sugar, for coating

Instructions

 Step 1

Make the dough first. Place the butter and flour in a sizable mixing basin. Between your fingers, mash them up until you have small crumbs and no lumps are visible. Add the egg yolks and sour cream. Use your hands to knead the dough until it is loose. Knead the dough for 5 to 7 minutes, or until it comes together well and feels tender. Each of the three portions of dough should be formed into a ball. Refrigerate the balls for 30 minutes after wrapping in plastic wrap.

Step 2

Get the filler ready. Combine the cardamom, sugar, and ground nuts in a medium mixing basin. Mix by stirring. Place aside.

Step 3

Set the oven at 380 degrees. Use parchment paper to line 2 baking pans (or 1 large baking sheet to fit all the cookies).

Step 4

One ball at a time while keeping the others covered with a kitchen towel as you work. Roll the ball into a narrow 11-inch circle with a rolling pin. Cut the circle into two equal wedges with a sharp knife, yielding a total of eight wedges.

Step 5

Each wedge should have about 1 teaspoon of the filling sprinkled on it, with a 1/4-inch border around the borders. The pointy end of the wedges should be rolled up. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls. The roll-ups should be placed on the baking sheets with the pointed side facing up and spaced about an inch apart.

Step 6

Bake for 20 minutes on the middle oven rack, or until the edges of the roll-ups are lightly brown. From the oven, remove.

Step 7

Allow to entirely cool before dusted with confectioners' sugar.
