Walnut Shortbread
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnut
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dulce de Leche Ice cream
1 cup milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 2/3 cups dulce de leche
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnut

1
To prepare cookie dough, sift the flour and salt in a large bowl. Mix in walnuts. Set aside.
2
Cream butter and powdered sugar in a bowl of a standing mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla.
3
Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated.
4
Gather dough and form a dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to chill.
5
Preheat oven to 350F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
6
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 3-inch rounds using a floured cookie cutter. Place on the prepared baking sheets and place in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
7
Bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly browned.
8
Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9
To prepare ice cream, combine milk, heavy cream, salt and dulce de leche in a medium sauce pan. Bring mixture to simmer, until dulce de leche is dissolved. Remove from heat.
10
Strain the mixture into another medium bowl. Let cool over a bowl of ice water, or chill in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally.
11
Process mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, level the top, cover and freeze until firm, at least 4 hours.
12
To assemble the sandwiches, remove ice cream from the freezer, use a cookie cutter to cut out a disc of ice cream and place it on top of one cookie. Place another cookie on top of the ice cream. Lightly press to adhere the sandwich.
13
Roll or sprinkle the sides with chopped walnuts.
14
Serve immediately. Or wrap each sandwich with plastic wrap and place them in the freezer.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
