Ingredients
Dough:
- 1¾ sticks butter or margarine (200 g)
- 2 egg yolks
- 3 cups flour
- ½ cup sweetened heavy cream (125 ml)
Filling:
- 2 cups walnut
- 2 egg whites
- ½ cup sugar
- 2½ tsp. vanilla sugar (10 g)
- ½ tsp. Cinnamon
Instructions
- Put all your dough ingredients in one bowl, then start kneading them until they’re combined.
- Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least two hours.
- After two hours, take the bowl out and remove the wrap.
- Divide the dough into four equal parts.
- Sprinkle some flour on your counter to create a working surface, then roll out the four dough pieces into balls.
- Pat down the balls until they’re pizza-like.
- Drop your walnuts into the food processor and grind them until they reach the desired texture. They should be ground small but not too smooth.
- Put the ground walnuts in a bowl, then add the sugar and egg whites. Stir well until the ingredients are combined.
- Put the filling in a piping bag and leave it aside for later.
- Grab the four dough pieces again and cut each of them into eight triangles, like you’d cut a pizza.
- Grab the piping bag and start squeezing the filing into the wide side of each triangle.
- After you’re done, roll all the triangles into a croissant shape, making sure not to squeeze the filling out.
- Place all the pieces on a baking pan lined with parchment paper, then bake them at 340°F (170°C) for 30 minutes.
- Take the baking pan out when the cookies are golden, then let them cool.
- Sprinkle the cookies with some confectioner’s sugar, then serve and enjoy!
