Arab Walnut Cookies - or Russian?

I once bought oreshki from Alliance Bakery near Al Wahda.  It's described as "nuts with condensed milk" on their website.  To be more accurate, they are walnut cookies filled with dulce de leche.


Saw something similar last night at the Lebanese Roastery. The package read "Ain Jamal".  Interestingly enough, the Alliance Bakery website lists its version as "aiyun aljamal".

 So they must be the same thing.

 I wonder - where did this first come from - Russia or the Middle East?  I'm guessing Russia.
