Walnut Crackles

I am sure you are familiar with chocolate crackles. Perhaps also coconut and/or lemon ones. These, however, are made with walnuts and rum. This time, I intentionally left out cinnamon, but you can, of course, add it. Next time, I will make them with hazelnuts, just be careful with the rum dosage if children will also be enjoying them.

Details

  • Preparation Time: 20 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 8 minutes
  • Difficulty: 1
  • Spiciness: 0
  • Number of Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 80 g Butter, unsalted

  • 50 g Sugar, white

  • 50 g Sugar, brown

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 2 spoons Alcohol, Rum

  • 150 g Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 3 spoons Flour, Wheat, bread flour

  • 100 g Walnuts

  • 3 g Baking powder

  • 2 g Baking powder

  • 1 pinch Salt, table

Steps

  1. In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and mix them well. Store the dough in the refrigerator for a few hours (preferably overnight) to cool thoroughly. If the dough is not cooled, it will be difficult to form balls, which will also be too soft.

  2. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

  3. Once the dough is well chilled, form it into walnut-sized balls, first rolling them in granulated sugar, then in powdered sugar.

  4. Place the balls on the baking tray, leaving a few centimeters of space between them as the cookies will spread slightly during baking. Bake the crackles for 8 minutes, and let them cool thoroughly before serving.
