Walnut shaped cookies filled with walnut cream

Walnut cookies

The walnut shaped cookies are a great cookie of my childhood! The oldest of my many aunts (my dad has 5 sisters) used to bake these oreshki cookies at every family event (and boy, they were many!). I used to be crazy about these russian walnut cookies, first of all because any kid loves cookies, right? And then they are simply delicious and so incredibly cute. I used to drool only at the thought of them.

You’ll probably be surprised to hear that what I loved the most about these walnut shaped cookies is the rum flavor which gives them a special, refreshing taste. And because they are baked in a special cookie mold (similar to waffles) they are very convenient to make

Add the walnut filling and this walnut shaped cookies recipe becomes a chic, fancy cookie recipe, perfect for a 5 o’clock tea (or coffee in my case). Do you love it when your friends call you the most hospitable host? Then offer them these walnut shaped cookies and you’ll become their cookie goddess/god!
