Zosia from Toronto, ON
These are tender buttery walnut cookies filled with a silky maple walnut filling that I made to celebrate mapling season.
The cookie ingredients are those of a basic sable, flour, sugar, butter, and egg with the addition of ground walnuts. The dough is very temperature sensitive and needs frequent refrigeration but is not as difficult to work with as I expected based on the author’s dire warnings : ).
The filling is a not-too-sweet buttercream made with egg yolks, sugar, butter, maple syrup, maple flavouring and chopped walnuts.
The combination of cookie and filling is absolute perfection.
The recipe only makes 24 sandwiches, but the maple leaf shape is quite large so a little goes a long way. Not a cookie I will make often, but one I will definitely make again.
