ree


Potrebno

500 g brašna

150 g šećera

1 vrecica vanilin šećera

200 g mljevenih orasa

250 g masti (ili maslaca)

2 jaja

Jos potrebno

prah šećer zamirisan vanilijom


Priprema

1. U prosijano brašno dodati obe vrste šećera, orase, mast, jaja i zamesiti glatko tjesto. Zamotati u foliju i staviti u frižider da odmori oko 1/2 sata.


2. Kalupe za šape dobro namastiti i pobrašniti. Otkidati po malo tjesta i lagano utisnuti u kalup, peći u predhodno zagrijanoj rerni na 170 C(fan)10-ak* minuta. Još vruće vaditi iz kalupa i valjati u prah šećer u koji smo stavili kesicu vanilin šećera. Staviti u limene kutije do služenja. I ove šapice sto duže stoje , finije su.


Savet*

Moji kalupi su u raznim veličinama, na jedan pleh stavim one manje i njih pečem oko 10 minuta, a veće ostavim jos 2-3 minute. Šapice su gotove kad počnu blago rumeniti sa strana ali trebaju ostati svetle. Od ove količine dobije se oko 70 šapica.

Walnut Cookies


Old fashioned walnut cookies. Bet you can’t eat just one!

Have a look at more recipes using these moulds!

Walnut cookies, known as Šape, are a beloved classic of traditional Balkan baking tender, fragrant, and full of nostalgic charm. Typically made in special metal molds, these cookies are a staple at holiday gatherings and family celebrations. With simple ingredients and the rich flavor of walnuts, they’re a timeless treat that brings comfort in every bite.



Ingredients

500 g flour

150 g caster sugar

10 g vanilla sugar

200 g ground walnut

250 g lard (or butter)

2 eggs


You will also need

100 g icing sugar


Method

1. Sift the flour in a large mixing bowl and add the sugars, walnut, lard and eggs, then mix it into a soft dough. Cover in cling film and leave to cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.


2. Preheat the oven to 170 C (fan). Grease the moulds with sunflower oil spray and take a teaspoon of dough to fill each mould.


3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they begin to brown slightly, but they should remain mostly pale. Take them out while they're still hot and carefully roll them in icing sugar. They can be kept in an airtight container for a couple of weeks.


Interesting to know

The origin of Šape (meaning "paws" in Serbian) comes from the traditional baking heritage of the Balkans, especially Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia. These cookies are named after the distinctive molds they’re baked in, which often resemble animal paw prints or floral shapes.


Šape have been a beloved part of festive baking for generations, especially during Christmas and other family celebrations. They reflect the region’s use of simple, hearty ingredients—particularly walnuts, which are abundant and deeply rooted in local dessert traditions.


Though recipes may vary slightly from one household to another, Šape are known for their crumbly, melt-in-your-mouth texture, delicate sweetness, and rich walnut flavor. More than just cookies, they are a nostalgic symbol of home, warmth, and tradition.


ENJOY!
