    Stuffed Nut Roll Cookies

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Stuffed Nut Roll Cookies are like a nut roll in cookie form, with a cookie on the bottom, nut roll filling, and a cookie on top. They are perfect for giving as a gift this Christmas!

    Welcome to Day #5 of Christmas Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Jen from Juanita's Cocina! Each day we will be celebrating the holidays with a different set of Christmas-themed treats, as well as a fabulous Christmas giveaway. We hope you enjoy this fabulous event. Tune in each day starting Monday, December 9th and ending Saturday, December 14th.

    My husband had the idea that I should make nut roll cookies, but not like anything I had ever seen before, he wanted the filling in the inside with the cookie all around it. I wasn't sure about this idea at all. I Googled and searched a few recipe apps I have, but couldn't find anything like what he described. I wasn't sure I wanted to try it, especially for Christmas Week, because it meant ACCKK!!! I'd be inventing a baking recipe!! Did I NOT bake just a week ago??

    Stuffed Nut Roll Cookies

    Well, I made these Stuffed Nut Roll Cookies just today (yes, I procrastinated this one), and they came out pretty darn good! The nut filling stayed in the cookies, while I was afraid it wouldn't, and they are pretty tasty, too. I did adapt this recipe from one for a regular nut roll cookie on Just A Pinch, where the cookies were rolled up with the filling inside.

    With my Stuffed Nut Roll Cookies recipe, they aren't rolled, there is a bottom layer of cookie, then filling, and then a top layer. I followed the ingredients for both the dough and the filling, so I did end up with a good amount of filling left over, but I have an idea to mix the filling with cream cheese and bake in mini fillo dough. The nut mixture would be great on top of muffins, or cooked into a bread. Maybe on pancakes?

    Okay, now I've forgotten to give you the recipe! Before I do, just a reminder to keep reading after the recipe for details on today's giveaway, and if you have missed the other giveaway's going on this week, just look for "Christmas Week" in the search bar up there in the right-hand corner. There are some great one's!

    Stuffed Nut Roll Cookies

    Sweet, flaky cookies with a nutty center.
    Prep Time1 hr
    Cook Time15 mins
    Total Time1 hr 15 mins
    Course: Dessert
    Servings: 32
    Calories: 140kcal
    Author: Bernadette

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 sticks one cup butter, softened
    • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
    • 2 cups crushed walnuts
    • 1 cup white sugar
    • ⅓ cup milk
    • powdered sugar for dusting and sprinkling

    Instructions

    • Combine flour, butter and cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Beat on LOW speed until mixture resembles coarse meal. Knead until dough forms a ball, about 5 minutes. Put in the refrigerator to chill, while you prepare the filling or up to 3 hours, removing from the refrigerator ½ hour before rolling out.
    • Crush walnuts in a large freezer bag with a mallet (that part is fun!), mix the crushed walnuts, sugar, and milk together in a large bowl.
    • On a surface sprinkled with powdered sugar, roll out dough to about ¼ inch, cut into circles about 2 ½ inches in diameter using a small cookie cutter or small glass.
    • Preheat oven to 350 F. Using a ½ teaspoon measuring spoon scoop the nut mixture and place a scoop in the middle of HALF of the cut out cookies. A little over ½ teaspoon is okay, but watch you don't go too over, or the filling will come out while baking. Once half of the cookies are topped with the nut mixture, press another cut out cookie on top of each filled cookie, and press closed all around with the back of a fork. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, rubbing the sugar across the top of each cookie.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cookie comes out clean.
