Melt unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stove.
16 Tbsp unsalted butter,
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar, then whisk in the melted butter.
3 eggs, 1 cup sugar
In a separate small dish, juice the lemon and add the baking soda. Let it foam then add into the bowl with eggs and sugar.
½ lemon,, ½ tsp baking soda
Add the flour and cornstarch to the bowl. Mix everything with a spoon until well combined. The dough should not be super runny.
1 cup all purpose flour,, 1 cup corn starch
Heat the walnut cookie maker. Once it's ready, place ¼ teaspoon of the dough into the shells and close the machine.
It will take about a minute for them to cook and be golden. Once finished, take each nut out and place onto a cutting board or counter for quick cooling. If there is too much dough around the walnuts, cut off the extra.
Place the cooled nut half into a bowl as you finish the rest of the batter.
Fill each nut with the cooked dulce de leche and bring two halves together to make a whole. Enjoy!

An oreshki mold is not hard to come by, but there’s many different cookie mold options out there. Sometimes they’re in an oreshki skillet form, or as an oven mold.
Electrical walnut maker is what I have been using now, they are much easier to work with and turn out great.
