      Thank you!

      The shell reminds me of crispy butter cookies. Vanilla, flour, butter, eggs, baking soda, vinegar, salt, sugar.

      And the filling is sweet. Pairs well with tea for me.

      Amazing, if you want to try, check out Eastern European shops near you. They sometimes stock these. My local does, though i haven’t tried shop bought ones yet.

      One if my earliest childhood memories was when i was maybe 5 or so, and you would make them with your neighbours for a new year party celebration. Amazing home cooked for sure 😊😀

        That is so nice!

        How did you make the filling?

        This was my first time making them and I read a few different recipes for the filling. I have more shells I can fill.

        I bought one of these to make these cookies.

        Edit: Bringing them to my mom today. She used to make them when she was a child too too.

          I didn’t, i was about 5 at the time, but still remember that experience :)

          Normally back then you would take condensed milk (i prefer unsweetened) can and boil it for about 3 hours to make the filling. Its very close to Dulce de Leche. Back then we didn’t have premade stuff being sold. Be careful though i only done it a handful of times (boiling it) so make sure no part of the can is ever exposed to the air and always have water covering it.

            I cheated and bought Dulce de Leche. Recipes say mix it with butter which is also what my mom said to do.

            I find different brands of Dulce de Leche have different tastes though.
