Nan-e Gerdui (Persian Walnut Cookies)


Ingredients

300 g ground walnuts
6 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar (about 100 - 115 g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300°F (150 C).

In a bowl, beat egg yolks, sugar and vanilla until they are thick and color turns pale yellow (about 8 minutes).

Add ground walnuts and mix well.

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased aluminum foil. Using a teaspoon, drop small portions of the walnut mixture on the sheet; make sure to leave enough space between them.

Bake in the middle rack of the oven for 15 minutes (they look soft but it is ok, they start to harden when they cool). Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow to cool. Then separate walnut cookies from parchment paper or aluminum foil. Store them covered.

Serve with black tea.

Makes about 90 bite-size walnut cookies.
