Walnut Cookies
The shape of these cookies, created using a walnut mold, gives a hint at what's sandwiched within.

This is my second year making these delicious cookies.
I love the flavors in the dough and the chocolate walnut filling. I make these cookies in the fall for gifts, instead of waiting for Christmas!
Thanks again Martha for another awesome recipe!

I made these cookies twice + here R some helpful tips. Chill dough @ least 3 hrs. to make them easier to un-mold I worked in batches + left half of dough in fridge while working with other half. Be sure to freeze them 1 hr . and I usually trim the edges while frozen . Couldn't taste the walnut liqueur. Filling is dry. Cookie tastes dryer when sandwiched and its kinda thick anyways. I prefer to just leave the halves and eat them as such, You get more like that anyways.

You can buy the walnut molder at KING ARTHUR's website. I bought mine a year ago. The molder has a teflon coating. They also have a recipe for the cookies. Thanks

Did anyone else find it impossible to get these out of the mold? I used a walnut shaped plastic candy mold (used for chocolates) and just could not get the dough out of the mold. And yes, I did dust with powdered sugar first. I ended up just rolling them into balls with my hands. Didn't want to sink the $$$ into the springerle mold (which wasn't available at the time anyway). did that mold make it easier?

I used Frangelico (hazelnut liquer) and couldn't even taste it. Did anyone use the walnut liquer? Is it worth it?

I had to wait for both the walnut mold and the snowman and little boy mold, but they came sooner than promised. This is a small company, from what I can gather, and they tried to keep up with the demand. By the way, the snowman springerle cookie is not only beautiful but a delicious "dunking" cookie.

I bought the metal molds from KingArthurFlour.com (50 to a pack). Because they are metal, it's not easy to brush on the sugar. After making the dough balls, I used the grease on my fingers to rub each mold, dipped in the sugar, then spread the dough in them. It was hard to get the dough out, so I put them in the freezer for about 5 minutes...took them out of the molds (much easier), then put them on the tray

The walnut liqueur is not available around here. In your opinion, what would be a better substitue - almond or hazelnut liqueur?

For anyone interested in making their own, I made one using polymer clay (Sculpey) and a walnut shell to make the impression. All you do is make the imprint and bake in the oven for 15 minutes and let it cool. after that it goes rock hard. It workes perfectly well and hardly cost me anything. You can find sculpey at craft and arts stores.

What else could be used in place of the Walnut Liqueur?

The mold at House on the Hill is a much better mold than the one from Amazon, but the one from Amazon will work in a pinch until you can get the one from "H on the H".

I ordered a walnut mold from House on the Hill acouple weeks ago when I got the Living mag with the cookies on the cover. I just got it yesterday and it is really beautiful and good quality. It is a bummer that they are already out but it is worth waiting for... then you could make them next year.

I'm disappointed also the last order date was Sunday 12/07/08, but the show didn't air until today 12/08/08. I would have thought they would have extended the date until after the show aired. I need the molds this month not next month.
