New Year's Pinecone Cookies

Source/Author: Aunt Nadia

New Year's Pinecone Cookies are festive treats shaped like pinecones. They are made from grated dough crumbs mixed with boiled condensed milk and chopped walnuts, then molded into a pinecone shape using a tapered glass. The cookies are finished with a dusting of powdered sugar to resemble snow, making them perfect for holiday celebrations.

Ingredients:

 sugar   4 tablespoons
 butter   125 g
 flour   3 cups
 milk   4 tablespoons
 egg   1
 sweetened condensed milk   15 oz can
 walnuts   100 g

1. Mix sugar with eggs. Add melted butter, milk, and flour, and knead the dough. Divide the dough into 2-3 parts and freeze 40 min.

2. Take the dough out of the freezer, grate it using a coarse grater. Spread the crumbs in a thin layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Bake in at 365°F 15 min or until lightly golden-brown.

4. Chop the walnuts.

5. In a large bowl: mix the baked crumbs with boiled condensed milk and nuts.

6. Form pinecones using a goblet, preferably one with a tapered shape, wetting the glass with water to prevent sticking.

7. Arrange on a plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
