Walnut Cookies Aka Oreshki/Gorishki
Description
Walnut Cookies Aka Oreshki/Gorishki consist of a tender, slightly sticky dough made from flour, sugar, butter, margarine, eggs, mayonnaise, and baking powder. The presence of both butter and margarine gives the cookie shell a balanced texture and flavor. Dough pieces are pressed and cooked inside a traditional metal mold over medium heat on a stovetop to achieve a golden exterior. Each side cooks for 1½ to 3 minutes depending on mold thickness, producing a crisp yet delicate shell. After cooling, excess baked dough is removed and the hollow walnut shapes are filled with dulce de leche, a rich caramel filling. A second shell is added on top to form a complete walnut-shaped cookie filled with creamy sweetness. These cookies combine crunchy exterior and creamy caramel in a distinct shape, ideal for serving during holidays or celebrations.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter room temperature, unsalted
- 1/2 cup margarine room temperature
- 3 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 egg large
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 28 oz dulce de leche
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the flour and sugar.
- Add in butter and margarine. Use a handheld mixer to combine the ingredients until you have a smooth, even consistency.
- Make a little hole in the middle of the flour mixture. Then, add the eggs, mayo and baking powder into it.
- Use your handheld mixer to beat the ingredients together completely. Your dough should be soft and a little sticky.
- Place small pieces of dough inside each metal form of an oreshki mold. When using a stove top, cook until golden brown. Flip the pan over and cook the other side. FYI: Each side can take 1½ to 3 minutes depending on the thickness of your mold. Make sure to check the instructions on the box!
- Let the cookies cool. Then, break off the access dough that seeped out of the molds and cooked to the inside of the pan.
- Fill each mold with dulce de leche. Then, place another mold on top to make an walnut shape.
