Ingredients
- 1 Cup walnuts
- ½ Cup unsalted butter
- ½ Cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 Tablespoons milk
For the Filling
- 6 Ounces Baker's Chocolate, semisweet
- 1½ Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1½ Tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C)—line 4 cookie sheets with parchment paper or use a silicone mat.
- Heat the walnuts, butter, flour, and milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the butter is melted and the ingredients are totally blended.
- Drop a rounded half-teaspoon of mixture onto the cookie sheet, three inches apart.
- Bake 12-15 minutes until the cookies are light golden brown. Let them cool for about 5 minutes, then carefully remove them from the parchment paper.
- Place the cookies on a cooling rack and cool completely.

For the Filling
- Melt the chocolate, butter, and milk in a double boiler. Do not let the water in the bottom pan touch the top pan.
- Spread the chocolate on the back side of one cookie. Top with a cookie of similar shape and size. It’s best to lay the cookies on a flat table since they are very fragile. Don’t push down too hard with the spreading knife because that can crack the cookie, too.

Notes
- Pro Tips
- Let the cookie dough cool off for a couple of minutes after melting. It doesn't spread as much.
- Shape the dough into rounds; if they are oddly shaped, the cookies will be too.
- Be sure that your oven temperature is correct. These cookies burn easily.
- Handle the cookies carefully, as they are very delicate.
- Some recipes add oats to the dough, which helps with their delicate nature but does not reflect this version. This version has a distinct toffee-like flavor and a delightful crispy texture.
- Use real unsalted butter for this recipe. Margarine will not produce a satisfactory flavor.
- Either store these cookies at room temperature or freeze them for longer storage. The humidity from the refrigerator will render them soggy.
- These cookies can be made gluten-free easily. Just substitute almond flour for the all-purpose flour in the recipe.
