INGREDIENTS:
For the dough:

• 500 g of flour;
• 250 g of soft butter;
• 50 ml of oil;
• 1 egg;
• 200 g of powdered sugar;
• 1 tablespoon of starch;
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder;
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar.

For the filling:

• 200 g of nuts (any);
• 3 tablespoons of raisins;
• 3 spoons of sugar;
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon;
• 1 egg white – optional, if you want the filling to be moist, not crumbly;
• 50 g of dark chocolate and almonds – for decoration.

METHOD OF COOKING:

1. Prepare the dough. Mix softened butter with oil and egg.

2. Add powdered sugar, starch and vanilla sugar, then mix again.

3. Add sifted flour with baking powder in small portions and knead the dough.

4. Prepare the filling. Mix toasted and chopped walnuts with raisins, cinnamon and sugar. We used peanuts.

5. Take a manual juicer, turn it upside down, place it in a glass and cover it with a thin plastic bag or cling film.

6. Take a piece of dough a little larger than a walnut, form a cylinder from it and put it in a juicer. Press with your fingers, make an indentation and distribute the dough evenly along the walls and bottom of the mold.

7. Add 2 teaspoons of filling.

8. Take a small piece of dough, flatten it, cover the filling and seal the edges.

9. Turn the nozzle over, remove the foil and place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

10. Before baking, let the biscuits cool for 10 minutes, then shape them in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 20 minutes.

11. Decorate the cookies with dark chocolate. Place a bag of chocolate in hot water, and after a few minutes, after the chocolate has melted, cut off the top and start decorating. Swipe the toothpick from top to bottom to get the decoration.

12. On top of the cookies, place one hazelnut on the still liquid chocolate.

13. If desired, you can simply sprinkle the cookies with powdered sugar.

The cookies are wonderful, crumbly and with a very tasty filling.

We wish you a pleasant appetite in the circle of your loved ones!
