In this article we will share with you a recipe for a delicious treat for tea - cookies "Fingers" with nut filling. Cooking is very simple and quick. You can verify this by reviewing the "Fingers" recipes with nuts from the photo below.
Dough
For baking cookies, you can use any dough: puff, butter, fresh, yeast, yeast-free, shortbread. Almost all types of frozen dough are commercially available. The "Fingers" recipe with nuts does not change depending on the type of dough.
Ready is most convenient because it remains just to roll out the layers. As for the choice, anyone will do, but it is still recommended to pay attention to the puff. "Fingers" with nuts according to the recipe from puff pastry are crispy, delicate, melting in the mouth.
Place the dough for a while in the refrigerator and start preparing the filling.
Nut filling
Any kind of filling is suitable: walnuts, peanuts, cashews, hazelnuts, almonds, etc. Nuts need to be peeled off the shell. For 1.5-2 cups of this product, one glass of sugar will be required. For the filling, the nuts must first be fried in a dry pan (without oil) for about 1-2 minutes. They should brown to a light brown color.
Grind nuts in a meat grinder, coffee grinder, blender or with a mortar. Mix them with sugar and rub until an elastic mass is formed. If the filling is too friable, add a little butter.
Roll up the fingers
So, we take the ready frozen layer of puff pastry and unfold it on the table. Usually they are rectangular or square. If the dough is unsweetened (puff usually turns out fresh), then you need to sprinkle it with sugar. We spread the nut filling on the layer and evenly distribute it over the entire surface.
We cut the dough layer in the middle in half so that we get two squares. We cut each of them into diagonal lines into triangles so that its wide part is about 10 cm long.
We turn each triangle from the base to the top and, slightly pressing it, roll it into a tube. Fingers are ready.
Baking cookies
At the final stage of the preparation of the dessert, a baking sheet is required. It must be covered with parchment paper or tracing paper. Put “fingers” on top of the baking sheet so that there is a distance of about two centimeters between them.
Preheat the oven to a temperature of 160-180 degrees. Bake cookies for 20-25 minutes.
Sprinkle the hot "fingers" with powdered sugar or crushed nuts, lay them on a plate in a slide. Have a nice tea party!
