This is a very special Slovenian recipe for Walnut Meringue Cookies. It was handed down to me by my ‘Stara mama’ (grandmother), Rozalija Pušič. My Stara mama doesn’t need to refer back to her recipe book, at the remarkable age of 93, she is still able to share this one with us by memory — She is truly amazing!! In slovenian we call these cookies, ‘Puserli or Orehovi Poljubčki’. These melt in your mouth cookies are more like a candy. They have a crispy exterior and a chewy interior. They are always a huge hit! We can’t wait for you to give them a try.
Recipe
- 250g ground walnuts
- 250g sugar
- 1 x egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon of lemon zest
