Yield: 12 pieces
Cuisine: German
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes; 1 large egg; 1/2 teaspoon baking powder; Pinch of salt; 1 cup chopped mixed nuts (such as almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts); 1/2 cup granulated sugar; 1/2 cup unsalted butter; 3 tablespoons honey; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 1/2 cup apricot jam; 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the cold butter cubes, then using your hands or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the egg to the mixture and knead the dough until it comes together into a smooth ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the nut topping. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped nuts, sugar, butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is well combined and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Take the dough out of the refrigerator and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of apricot jam over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Then, evenly spread the nut mixture over the jam.
Bake the Nussecken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the Nussecken to cool slightly on the baking sheet before cutting them into triangles or squares while still warm.
Once the Nussecken have cooled completely, drizzle them with melted dark chocolate for an extra delicious touch.
