Growing up in Latvia, these cookies filled with dulce de leche are the most delicious ones that my Mom and I made together. Walnut cookie molds can be found online.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 (13.4 ounce) can dulce de leche
Directions
Step 1
Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla extract. Add flour and salt and mix until just incorporated; overmixing will make the dough too stiff. Cover the dough with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, or up to overnight.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Step 3
Press about 1 teaspoonful of the chilled dough into the bottom and up the sides of each walnut-shaped mold. Place the molds on a baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until browned around the edges, 12 to 18 minutes. Cool for a few minutes. Lightly tap on the bottom of the mold to pop out the cookies. Let cool until easily handled.
Step 5
Spoon some dulce de leche onto the bottom of each cookie and sandwich the halves together.
Cook’s Note:
Other thick fillings can be used, such as any nut butter or Nutella(R).
