How to Make Damat Bohçası (Turkish Stuffed Bundle Cookies)
- In a bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of butter, 1 egg, 1 tea glass of powdered sugar, 1 water glass of flour, 1 packet of baking powder, and 1 packet of vanilla. Knead briefly, then gradually add wheat starch until the dough comes together. Set aside a handful of the prepared dough and knead it with 1 dessert spoon of cocoa powder to make the cocoa dough.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1 water glass of crushed walnuts, 1 dessert spoon of cinnamon, and 4 dessert spoons of honey. Take a handful of the plain dough and flatten it in your palm. Place 1 dessert spoon of the walnut filling in the center and shape it into a bundle (bohça). Prepare long strips from the reserved cocoa dough and wrap them over the top of each bundle to decorate. Bake at 180°C (350°F) until the tops are golden brown.
