Yield: 40
Ingredients: 400 g all-purpose flour; 200 g butter (cold); a pinch of salt; 1 packet baking powder (12 g); 3 tablespoons granulated sugar; 2 tablespoons sour cream; 2 egg yolks; 120 g ground walnuts; 80 g granulated sugar; 2 egg whites; 1–2 tablespoons jam (preferably currant or sour cherry, cherry also possible); 3 tablespoons lemon juice; 1 teaspoon orange juice (optional)

Dough preparation Sift the all-purpose flour into a bowl, add the baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix in the butter cut into cubes, the yolks and the sour cream. Quickly work into a smooth dough. Wrap it in cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Nut meringue preparation Whisk the egg whites with the lemon juice into stiff peaks. In another bowl, mix the ground walnuts with the sugar and jam. Gently fold the meringue into this mixture. If you want a milder citrus flavor, add a small amount of orange juice.

Shaping Roll the rested dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of approximately 5 mm. Cut out smaller rounds and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Filling Transfer the walnut meringue to a piping bag and pipe a small dollop onto each round.

Baking Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Bake the cookies for approximately 25 minutes, until they are lightly golden. After baking, let them cool on the tray, then carefully transfer them.
