Turkish Delight & Walnuts Cookies

Turkish Delight and Walnuts Cookies
Biscuit dough crumbles into a thousand crumbs, in contrast to the very tender interior of the Turkish delight, to accompany the crunchy walnut. In our house, they are always made with Turkish delight & walnuts, and we, as children or as adults, love them.
In some areas of Crete, these Skaltsounia are named Patoutha (Τα Πατούδα), with various fillings, and besides dusting with icing sugar, they are also made with syrup. A mouthful delight for the palate and a sweet lenten for every season.
The Lenten «Skaltsounia» are traditional in many parts of Greece with various fillings but also in the Balkan Countries. And also the neighbors Italians make something similar with nuts and dried fruit or jam or chocolate. «They are named «Ravioli Dolci».
Yours!
