Ingredients: 400 g plain flour; 240 g butter; 200 g powdered sugar; 2 egg yolks; 4 tablespoons cocoa; 260 g ground walnuts; 200 g softened butter; 60 g powdered sugar; 100 g ground walnuts; Rum to taste

Preparing the dough: In a bowl, mix the flour, powdered sugar, egg yolks, cocoa, ground walnuts and softened butter. Work into a smooth dough and wrap it in cling film. Let rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to make the dough easier to handle.

Baking: Preheat the oven to 170 °C. Press the dough into walnut-shaped molds and bake for 8–10 minutes, until lightly golden. After baking, let the molds cool and then carefully remove the walnuts.

Preparing the cream: Beat the softened butter until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, ground nuts and rum to taste. Beat until a smooth and airy cream forms.

Filling the walnuts: Fill each walnut half with the nut cream and join the two halves together. Store the finished walnuts in a box and let them rest for several days so the flavors meld and the cookies gain their characteristic crispness.
