Assembling and Baking

3. In your wooden mold, place the filled dough ball and press firmly to allow the impression to mark the dough. 
   
4. Bang the wooden mold to release the formed cookie. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes on upper 1/3 rack of oven. 
   
5. Cookies will be done when bottoms are slightly red. 
   
6. After coming out of the oven, dust the WALNUT cookies with powdered sugar (date cookies leave plain)
7. Let cool and enjoy!
