Golden Nut Filled
Cookies Recipe
“Golden Nut” Filled Cookies
This is the perfect recipe for our Walnut Mold (M5120).
What you’ll need:
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, sifted
1/2 tsp. salt (omit if using salted butter)
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 cup unsalted butter
3 oz. cream cheese
1 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. vanilla
grated rind of 1 orange
Sift together flour, salt and cinnamon-set aside. Cream butter and cream cheese together. Gradually add sugar and mix well. Beat in egg yolk, vanilla, and orange rind, then slowly the flour mixture. Chill dough well-overnight or longer and chill scraps in the freezer before re-rolling. Press a ball of dough into the floured nut mold ( the point of a knife helps to start them out.) No drying is needed before baking. Chilling formed cookies in the freezer for 5 minutes will help preserve the details of the impression. Bake 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F. Alternate flavors- almond, pecan orange ect.

1 1/2 cups peanut butter
3 tbsp. light corn syrup
4 tsp. heavy cream

1 1/2 cups ground walnuts
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 tbsp. butter, softened
2 tbsp. strong coffee
Mix together well. Roll or scoop into a ball and squash between two baked nut cookie halves until it overflows pleasingly between them.
