Ingredients
| 1 чаша | fat or oil (more crumbly with fat) |
| 1 чаша | powdered sugar |
| 1-2 праха | vanilla |
| 1 чаша | ground walnuts |
| 2 1/2 чаши | flour |
| 2 | eggs (added) |
| 3 с.л. | honey (added) |
| — | jam (for filling) |

Instructions
- Knead a dough from 1 cup fat/oil (they are more crumbly with fat), 1 cup powdered sugar, 1-2 sachets of vanilla, 1 cup ground walnuts and 2 1/2 (two and a half) cups flour.
- Note: I added 2 eggs and 3 tbsp honey.
- Always sift the flour so the dough stays lighter. Roll out a sheet 1/2 (half) centimetre thick and, using a thin drinking glass or a cutter, cut out rounds.
- Bake very carefully so they don't burn.
- Sandwich them 2 by 2 with jam and roll them in powdered sugar.
