Walnut Cookie Mold Maker 12 - Oreshki Mold Maker - Walnut Cookie Molds - Орешница Russian - Oreshki Maker - Walnut Cookie Maker Oreshek - Nutty Maker - Oreshnitsa Maker - Nut Cookies Maker

I’ve been wanting a walnut cookie mold for a while, and this one did not disappoint. It’s lighter in weight than the one I used to have, but still feels sturdy and well-made. I tried it once, and the cookies turned out perfect! I also used the recipe that came with it, and it worked great. Definitely happy with this purchase!

I received this yesterday and started using it today. With the first batch I made I used a recipe that did not come with this Oreshki maker. Those turned out horribly in this product & broke apart into crumbs twice. I was about to assume this thing didn't work right but decided to use the recipe that comes with it. These turned out beautifully! The more you make them the better each batch gets. By 3rd batch I had the procedure down. I have an electric stove so had to adjust cooking times for my stove on medium heat. However, if you make the full batch of recipe you will be cooking all day. For me, 1/2 a recipe made a little over 90 shells. Considering there are 12 molds that means cooking batches 8 times. Also, mine needed 6-8 min to cook total, not 3 min. Sooo, make sure you have the time and desire to do this. I used 5gm dough per cookie. Factor in removal & cookie edge trimming time & re-greasing the molds. Wanted to review this since a lot of folks said it didn't work. It does & it works perfectly with the recipe it comes with. If your recipe is vastly different as mine was, you may need to just play with it to see what works. I did not have any weird discoloration and it came well wrapped and no issues. I am very pleased!

This appliance is a game-changer for baking lovers! It’s incredibly easy to use and makes perfect nut-shaped pastries every time. The cookies come out clean and evenly baked. The design is compact, making it easy to store, and it heats up quickly, saving me so much time in the kitchen. The results are consistently delicious, and my family loves the pastries I make with it. Highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys baking or wants to try something new and creative

Good quality! Thanks!

The size of each mold is somewhat smaller than what it needs to be. I don't know what caused the change in design. The original soviet cookie molds were of a proper size, so they were much easier to work with. Each soviet mold would accommodate a not heaping tea spoon of dough. To use this one without the dough squeezing out of the form, one should use just a somewhat heaping half a tea spoon of it. The tea spoon is 5 mL, which is 1/6 of an ounce by volume, so half a tea spoon is 2.5 mL, and the right size of the dough appears to be about 3 mL rolled into a ball once it is out of the spoon, maybe slightly more than that but not by much.The dough has a plenty of butter in it so it does not stick to the hands or the molds. Once heated up on the stove, each half-cookie falls out pretty easily. The original filling is the caramel from sweetened condensed milk mixed with softened butter (50/50 per popular recipes, but I use less butter than caramel, still works well, something like 1 part butter 2 parts caramel). To make the caramel, just slowly simmer the closed can of the sweetened condensed milk for about 3.5 hours. For safety reasons, it is best to place the small towel on the bottom of the pot, place the closed can on it and then fill the pot with water so it covers the top of the can completely, simmer very slowly so the water is barely boiling. Add more (boiling) water as needed during this process to ensure that water covers the can completely, lest you risk it to burst. Alternatively, just buy the Argentinian dulce de leche instead of making the caramel out of the condensed sweetened milk. It is their traditional desert, they make it as perfect as it can possibly be. The filling made of the mix of caramel and butter is very sticky, so it "glues" the two filled cookie halves together. Place the ready cookies in the fridge (or freezer for longer storage). Since the resulting cookies are pretty small, it takes a very long time to make a decently sized batch. The only downside of the result is that it is very difficult to not over indulge. The size of the molds is the only reason that this product does not get the 5 stars, with the original size it would make the whole process faster as the cookies would be a bit bigger.

The media could not be loaded. I love this Cookie Mold. If you follow the instructions, will enjoy the process! Make sure you wash off well the black residue the first time using it. Form exactly 5 gram cookie balls to get perfect walnut shells with no excess around it. I used the included recipe. Highly recommend! My personal recommendation -do NOT wash it in a dishwasher even though it says you can , it’s gonna turn black. Good luck, everyone.

Very nice. Easy to make.

Package arrived nicely packed. Pan had like white stains looking like salt, had to do a very a very thorough cleaning to get rid of it. Dried with paper towel. Applied avocado oil and heated it. Decided to wipe out the excess of oil after preheating and paper towel turned out dark grey. Okay, wiped out everything and decided to do the next step. Did 2 pans of oreshki and now dough is grey. Can’t consider it food safe.
