DESCRIPTION
King Arthur's recipe for Walnut cookies

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Cookies Brownies Bars

INSTRUCTIONS
Walnut Cookies
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup confec. or glazing sugar
1 tsp vanilla ext.
1/2 tsp. almond ext.
2 drops bitter almond oil, optional
1 large egg plus 1 egg yolk
2 1/4 cups KA unbleached ap flour
1 cup toasted almond or hazelnut flour OR an additional 1/4 cup ap flour

Beat together the butter, salt, sugars, flavorings, egg and yolk. Add the flour(s) and mix until well combined. Cover and chill for 30 minutes, or until the dough is easy to handle.
Press 1 tsp. of dough onto the bottom and sides of each ungreased walnut mold. Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 7-9 minutes. The cookies should not brown except for very lightly around the edges. Cool slightly, then tap the molds firmly to remove the cookies. Cool the cookies completely on a rack; they'll become crisp.

Part 2 - Filling:
8 ounces (1/2 can, about 7/8 cup) praline paste
6 ounces chopped bittersweet chocolate or 1 cup bittersweet chips

Melt the praline paste and choc together in a double boiler or in a microwave on low power. Fill the cooled cookies, using about 1/2 tsp. for each. Sandwich pairs of cookies, pressing the halves together gently. Allow to stand until the filling is set, several hours at (cool) room temp, or 2-3 hours in a refrigerator.

Yield: 7 dozen filled cookies

I'm posting the recipe that came with the cookie molds just in case I lose the paper version.
