CHOCOLATE WALNUT COOKIES FILLING 200 g walnuts 40 g sesame seeds 75 g white caster sugar 3 g cinnamon powder (1 teaspoon) 8 ml orange blossom water 1 egg white (medium) COOKIE DOUGH 160 g unsalted butter 85 g powdered sugar 8 g vanilla sugar (1 tbsp) or a tsp of vanilla extract 1 egg yolk (medium) 300 g flour (all-purpose flour) 3 g baking powder COATING 300 g white chocolate GARNISH 25 g dark chocolate Instructions: Place the walnuts, sesame seeds, white caster sugar, cinnamon powder, orange blossom water, and egg white in a food processor. Grind until smooth. Take 8 grams of the nut mixture and roll it into a small ball. Place it on a sheet of baking paper and repeat for the remaining mixture. In a bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and egg yolk. Mix well. Add the flour and baking powder and knead until smooth. Take 16 grams of cookie dough and roll it into a small ball. Place it on a sheet of baking paper. Flatten the cookie dough ball. Place a ball of nut filling in the center of the dough. Fold the dough around the filling and seal it tightly. Shape into a smooth ball. Place the filled cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 190 °C (375 °F) for 10-15 minutes until golden. Keep an eye on the baking time, as ovens may vary. Let the cookies cool completely. Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler (au bain-marie). Dip the cookies into the melted chocolate and place them back on the parchment paper. Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler and transfer it to a piping bag. Drizzle thin lines over the cookies. Let the chocolate harden before serving. Tips: Toast the walnuts and sesame seeds briefly in a dry frying pan for extra flavor. Let them cool completely before grinding. Knead the dough briefly, just enough to bring it together. Over-kneading can make the cookies tough. Use a kitchen scale to precisely measure both the filling and the dough for uniform cookies. Use a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a tiny hole for neat chocolate decoration. Substitute the white chocolate with any chocolate of your choice. Replace the vanilla sugar with vanilla extract.
