Prepare these ingredients for making sweet nuts - cookies. Margarine is better to get it out of the refrigerator first. Flour may require a little more than the specified amount. Lemon juice for baking soda, you can extinguish soda with vinegar. Well, be sure to get the hazel. I have it quite old, inherited from my mother.

In a deep bowl, mix softened margarine, eggs and powdered sugar. I plan to start nuts with boiled condensed milk, so I add less caster sugar. Mix all the added ingredients thoroughly.

Add soda slaked with lemon juice to the dough. Mix everything up well.

Gradually add sifted flour to the dough, stirring evenly, knead the dough. Collect it in a ball, maybe for this you need a little more flour indicated in the recipe.

Pinch small pieces from the dough, roll them into a ball and put them in the compartment for half a nut. The size of the balls is better to take smaller, less than walnut. Because the excess dough will warm up and flow from the hazel to the fire, and because of this it can burn the bottom of the hazel. Nuts-blanks can be immediately made a lot, then when the hazel heats up and the process goes rather, it will save time.

Until the hazel has warmed up, it will be necessary to fry for a minute on each side, and as soon as it is fully heated, 30 seconds for each side will be enough. The finished halves of the nuts can be easily removed from the mold without assistance. If the nuts turned out to be excess dough, then they can be cut off.

Cool the ready-made halves of nuts. They can already be served for tea. But for a dessert familiar from childhood, halves of nuts need to be filled with boiled condensed milk and combined.
