These Kayseri-style cookies are a way to use leftover walnuts during the holidays. Roll the dough thin, spread it with a walnut filling, and bake it in a log shape. This carefully crafted recipe is well suited to a large gathering and takes patience.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the dough

30 min

Knead the flour, butter, egg, and baking powder until you have a smooth dough. Cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2

Prepare the filling

10 min

Mix the crushed walnuts with the granulated sugar and cinnamon.

3

Roll and shape

30 min

Roll the dough into a thin sheet and spread the walnut mixture over it. Roll it up tightly and cut it into pieces 3 cm wide.

4

Bake

25 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C / 355°F until the edges are lightly browned.

Reminder

If you roll the dough before it has rested, the cookies may crack during baking; refrigerate it for 30 minutes. Allergens: wheat (gluten), eggs, dairy (butter), and tree nuts (walnuts).
