Vanillekipferl – Cornulete cu nuca si vanilie
O fi trecut el Craciunul, dar eu inca mai am retete pe care vreau sa vi le arat, asa ca o sa ignor faptul ca suntem deja de cateva zile in 2017 si o sa va arat astazi aceste mici minunatii dulci cu multa nuca, bine tavalite in zahar pudra numite Vanillekipferl sau cornulete cu nuca si vanilie daca vreti. Au tronat cu mandrie pe masa noastra de Craciun si recunosc ca au fost vedetele platoului cu fursecuri din mai multe motive: au o aroma incredibila de miez de nuca prajit, au o forma tare simpatica, sunt tavalite in zahar pudra si se topesc in gura cu fiecare muscatura!
Reteta vine de la o prietena culinareasa, Andrada, pe care am avut ocazia sa o cunoscut de curand. Multumesc, Andrada! Nu e nici prima, nici ultima reteta de la tine care imi reuseste cu brio!

Notes
ENGLISH
2017 is upon us, but I still have recipes from last year to catch up on. Now I’m not one to bake cookies too often, but I’ve baked so many this year! Some were older recipes, like my all time favorite chocolate chip cookie or the delicious chocolate spritz cookies of Pierre Herme, but some, like these vanillekipferl – walnut vanilla cookies – were completely new. I’ve had these on my mind for weeks before Christmas and when the time finally came, I had everything ready. Why you will ask?! Well, simply because they are the most mellow, walnutty cookies I’ve ever made and tasted! Perfect little treats of walnut flavor and amazing texture! The best part?! They preserve beautifully for over 2 weeks sealed in a cookie jar!
The ingredient list is fairly simple, but the outcome is quite impressive. They look cute as well, just like tiny croissants dusted with plenty of powdered sugar that melt in your mouth with each bite!
Vanillekipferl – Vanilla Walnut Cookies
Ingrediente
- 300 g all-purpose flour
- 3 g salt
- 100 g walnuts (roasted and ground)
- 200 g butter (softened)
- 60 g white sugar
- 65 ml milk (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructiuni
- Prepare the dusting sugar by sifting at least 150g of powdered sugar into a bowl. Place aside.
- Sift the flour with salt then mix it with the ground walnuts.
- Mix the butter and sugar in a bowl for 5 minutes or until pale and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla then incorporate the milk, spoon after spoon, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the flour mixture, one half at a time, and knead just until the dough comes together.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours at least.
- Once the dough is chilled, take small pieces of dough and shape into a log that has 1cm diameter. Cut the log into approximately 5cm long pieces. Using your fingertips, shape each end of the smaller pieces to look thinner then bend the small log to look similar to a croissant or half moon.
- Place the cookies on baking trays then bake in the preheated oven at 350F for 12-15 minutes or until they are just slightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven then allow to cool down in the pan for 10 minutes. Take the cookies from the pan and place them in the powdered sugar, coating them on all sides.
- Remove on a platter and serve!
These are my favourite cookies in the world. Beautiful photos!
