The pastry, beloved since childhood, is remembered by many for its sweet-delicate taste, interesting shape and crispy crust with an unearthly aroma. We are, of course, talking about delicious nut cookies with condensed milk; the old and new recipes are slightly different from each other, but the love for the dish is invariably great. You can easily prepare your favorite stuffed nuts at home and not only with the help of modern technology, but all the secrets are discussed later in the article.
To make delicious sweet nuts, you must first properly prepare the dough, as well as the condensed milk filling. Try to choose condensed milk according to GOST, it makes the best filling for nuts.
An excellent recipe has been preserved from Soviet times, which is ideal for both those who have modern hazelnuts and those who still have its old analogue - a cast-iron hazelnut. It will take about an hour to prepare the baked goods, and given that you can use modern technologies as assistants, the baking process will speed up significantly.
Over the many years of the existence of such a dish as baked nuts, housewives have not tried to prepare any kind of filling. They made jam to “blind” crispy halves of nuts, but not a single filling, except boiled condensed milk, deserved more honor and respect.
It is customary to cook nuts with boiled condensed milk, and it will be better if you cook it yourself at home.
To prevent the preparation of the filling from taking up a lot of your time on the day you bake the nuts, start cooking the day before. Boil condensed milk in the evening and cool it, and the next day use the ready-made thickened mass.
You can cook condensed milk in a slow cooker. To do this, place cans of milk in a multicooker bowl, pour boiling water over them and cook the sweetness in the “Stew” mode for 3-4 hours.
After this, according to tradition, we cool the milk. At this point, the preparation of the filling for nuts from condensed milk is finished - you can start baking the dough.
The dough needs to be baked for as long as indicated in the operating instructions for the electric nut maker. Each hazel maker has its own working capabilities, so the cooking time will vary for different housewives.
In a simple nut pan, bake the first side for 1 minute and turn over to the second side. Bake again for 1-1.5 minutes. After this, we open the hazelnut and look at the goldenness of the cookies. If you want it crispier, repeat frying each side for another half a minute.
When the halves are baked, remove them from the mold into a pre-prepared wide bowl and allow time to cool.
Then put boiled condensed milk on one half and cover the nut with the other half.
Leave the finished nuts with condensed milk in a cool place for a short time so that the filling has time to thicken. That's all - baking based on a simple old recipe is ready, serve a delicious “childhood memory” with tea, coffee, cocoa or hot chocolate.
The nuts according to this recipe are obtained with a thinner “shell” and soft-crisp, like waffles.
Our homemade shortbread nuts, made in a Soviet nut mill, can be served.
You can cook delicious nuts with condensed milk without a mold. If you don’t have a regular or electric hazelnut, bake in the oven. The cooking technology is the same as in the recipes above, only the baking process itself differs.
Preparing the cream filling is a more labor-intensive process than cooking condensed milk.
To ensure that homemade cookies always turn out delicious, you need to familiarize yourself in advance with simple baking secrets that will help every housewife make delicious homemade sweet nuts.
It is quite possible to make sweet nuts using vegetarian technology. The baking recipe is the same as in regular classic recipes, only the dough is kneaded without adding eggs.
Traditionally, boiled condensed milk is used as a filling for baked nuts. Condensed milk is either bought already boiled, or you cook it at home yourself. However, no one can forbid experimenting with the composition of the filling.
Housewives often add sour cream or mayonnaise to the filling for nuts. It turns out to be quite a spicy taste in a dish that is already familiar to many.
Now you know what you need for nuts with condensed milk. Cooking them is not such a difficult process, it is rather a pleasant pastime from which you get a lot of pleasure, even standing at the stove.

Dough for nuts in an oreshnitsa classic recipe
I am happy to share with you recipe for “Nuts” cookies with condensed milk, which I converted from non-vegetarian, that is, this option is prepared without eggs. I think many people associate these nuts with childhood, because in Soviet times they were a favorite treat for children.
Despite the absence of eggs in the dough, the cookies turn out simply wonderful - not hard, crispy and very tasty. I make the filling for it from boiled condensed milk, butter and walnuts. You can fill the nuts with just boiled condensed milk, but then you need to make less dough, because one jar of milk is not enough for so many shells.
You need to bake these cookies in a special frying pan (I think many people still have it from Soviet times) on the stove or in an electric nut maker.

A delicacy familiar from childhood - nuts with condensed milk - is prepared very simply and quickly, but only if you have a special metal mold - a nut shell. This is probably why it’s time to visit your grandparents, mothers or other relatives and try to find this wonderful device from the Soviet past in their bins. So, the recipe for nuts in a Soviet nut bowl with boiled condensed milk. We will cook on a gas stove, I haven’t tried baking them on an electric one, try it, it will most likely work out too.
1 – condensed milk is simmered over low heat for 2 hours. The can of milk must be completely covered with water throughout the entire cooking time. By the way, condensed milk should be boiled in advance so that by the time the filling is prepared it has time to cool completely;
2 – before adding walnuts to the filling, you need to fry them in a frying pan, remove the skins and grind them in a blender or finely chop them with a sharp knife;
3 – margarine for preparing the dough and butter for filling must be removed from the refrigerator in advance so that they warm up to room temperature.
Let's prepare the dough for the nuts in a nut maker on gas. Carefully grind soft margarine with granulated sugar.
Beat in raw eggs, add 2 tablespoons of flour (from the total amount) and mix.
Add most of the flour, add soda slaked with vinegar and mix the dough thoroughly with a spoon.
Sprinkle flour on a wooden surface, turn out the dough and knead it a little more with your hands until it becomes soft and pliable. Wrap the dough ball in film and place in a cool place for 30-40 minutes.
While the dough is cooling, prepare the cream filling by combining and thoroughly mixing soft butter, boiled condensed milk and chopped walnuts.
Divide the cooled dough into small lumps and roll out neat balls with a diameter of about 1.5 cm from each of them. The size of the flour balls should correspond to the holes in the mold for making nuts.
Carefully grease the entire surface of the hazelnut (top and bottom) with margarine or butter. Heat the pan on the stove and place the required number of flour balls (9 pieces) in its recesses. Close the hazelnut tightly and set the gas to medium heat. First, lay the hazelnut one side down, and after 1-1.5 minutes turn the mold over to the other side.
Important! Soviet hazelnut is a heavy thing, be careful when cooking, don’t get burned.
Open the nut rack slightly and, if the nuts are already sufficiently roasted, carefully pick them out with a knife and place them on a plate to cool.
In the cooled nut shells, break off the excess edges of the baked dough, then fill each of them with cream.
Using light pressure, connect the halves and set aside for a while so that they stick together well. That’s it, the treat is ready – you can eat the nuts right away, but it’s better to let them sit for a couple more hours at room temperature and soak in the cream.
You can add nuts with condensed milk to the list of your favorite treats from childhood. The classic recipe for this treat will allow even a novice cook to prepare it quickly and easily. Neither a child nor an adult can refuse such a dessert.
This recipe option involves using a minimum amount of ingredients. To prepare sweet nuts you need to take: 3 eggs, 1 pack of high-quality butter, 120 g of sugar, 3-4 drops of lemon juice, ¼ tsp. salt and soda, 430 g of sifted flour, 1 can of boiled condensed milk.
If you decide to use liquid condensed milk instead of boiled milk, then the cookies need to be refrigerated for a couple of hours so that the filling has time to thicken.
The most successful recipe for the dessert under discussion is considered to be the one that our grandmothers used. It includes the following ingredients: 2 chicken eggs, 180 g sugar, 230 g butter margarine, 600 g flour, 0.5 tsp. soda slaked with vinegar, a can of boiled condensed milk.
To make the dough manageable, you should make sure that all the products that the old nut recipe includes are at the same room temperature.
To make the dessert especially tender, condensed milk should be added directly to the dough (one can of uncooked product). You will also need to use: 230 g flour, 2 egg whites, 0.5 tsp. baking soda, slaked with vinegar, 140 g of sugar, a pinch of salt and vanillin.
You can fill the finished cookies with whipped cream, jam or curd cream.
For cooking you will need to use an oven. The ingredients include: 1 egg, 1 stick of butter, 560 g flour, 1 tsp. baking powder, 90 g sugar, can of condensed milk.
Of course, with this method of preparation, the cookies are not as smooth and beautiful as in a special form, but this does not affect the taste of the dessert at all.
The taste of the finished dessert will primarily depend on the dough. The housewife can choose from numerous options that differ in both the method of preparation and the set of products.
For the classic version, you will need to take: 550 g of flour, 270 g of butter, 90 g of sugar, a large pinch of salt and soda, 2 eggs, apple cider vinegar for slaking.
The finished dough should be fat and soft.
Interestingly, the dough for nuts can even be prepared using mayonnaise. In addition to this sauce (130 g), you need to use: a pack of butter, 3 eggs, 550 g of flour, 180 g of sugar, a pinch of baking powder.
There is no need to worry that the mayonnaise will make the mixture salty. This additive will not be felt at all in the finished cookies.
Shortbread dough makes sweet nuts especially tender and crumbly. For this dessert option you will need to use: a pack of butter, 2 eggs, 450 g flour, 170 g sugar, 0.5 tsp. slaked soda, a pinch of salt.
You need to knead the mass until it stretches well.
If there are no eggs in the house, then you can prepare a delicious treat without them. For sweet nuts you will need to take: a standard pack of creamy margarine, 170 g sugar, 450 g flour, 170 g low-fat sour cream, 0.5 tsp. baking powder.
The absence of eggs in the recipe will not degrade the taste of the finished dessert.
Homemade treats always turn out much tastier and more tender than store-bought ones. But in order for the culinary experiment not to turn into a failure, you need to know some tricks and nuances of preparing the dish in question.
The easiest way to cook cookies is in a special electric appliance.
An electric hazel maker allows you to simultaneously bake a batch of cookies, significantly saving the housewife’s time.
