Instructions
How to make Heart-shaped Walnut and Cinnamon Cookies
- Place the nuts and dates in a food processor. Grind them until you get a homogeneous mixture.
- Turn off the food processor and add the sugar, eggs, cinnamon and 2-3 tablespoons of flour.
- Start to knead a homogeneous dough, adding flour gradually until you get a dough that can be stretched.
- It's okay if the dough is a bit sticky, it will come out softer this way. If you put too much flour, the cookies will be hard after baking.
- Roll out the dough on the work surface, into a 0.5cm (0.2 inch) thick sheet.
- Cut the the dough into hearts, or any other shapes you have around the house.
- Preheat the oven to medium heat and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Place the hearts in the tray and bake for 13-15 minutes until they begin to turn a light color. Do not over bake as they will be too hard.
- Remove from the oven and leave in the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
- When cooled, the cookies can be filled with strawberry jam or any other jam you like. Try to use a more substantial jam.
- Leave the filled hearts until the next day when you can decorate them.
- Melt the chocolate together with the butter and milk over low heat.
- Dip one side of the hearts in the glaze then place them on a grill with the glazed side up.
- Do the same with all the hearts.
- Garnish with almond flakes, chopped nuts or mini marshmallows.
- Enjoy!
