Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup dates, pitted and chopped (about 6 dates)
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup walnut halves, coarsely chopped
8 round store-bought shortbread cookies (about 2 inches in diameter)
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine dates, water, and cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently, until dates break down to a soft paste, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly in pan, then stir in walnuts.
  • Divide date mixture among 4 cookies. Top each with another cookie, and dust with confectioners' sugar if using. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven and also helps the flavors to develop.
  • Use good quality walnuts: The walnuts are a key ingredient in these cookies, so make sure to use the best quality walnuts you can find. Freshly chopped walnuts will give the cookies the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies are done baking when they are just set around the edges but still soft in the center. If you overbake the cookies, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from making the cookies soggy.

Conclusion:

These walnut sandwich cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a combination of crunchy walnuts, sweet cream cheese filling, and a hint of vanilla, these cookies are sure to be a hit. Follow these tips to ensure your walnut sandwich cookies turn out perfect every time. Enjoy!
