Baklava Cookies recipe inspired by the flavors of classic Turkish baklavacrisp, nutty, and honey-sweet, but much easier than layering a whole pan of phyllo.

Ingredients (about 20 cookies)

Nut Filling

1 cup (100 g) finely chopped walnuts

½ cup (50 g) finely chopped pistachios (or use all walnuts)

3 Tbsp granulated sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Pinch of ground cloves (optional)

Cookie Dough

½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened

⅓ cup (65 g) granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

Honey Syrup

½ cup (120 ml) water

½ cup (170 g) honey

¼ cup (50 g) sugar

1 tsp lemon juice

1 strip of lemon peel or a small piece of cinnamon stick (optional)

Crispy Phyllo Topping

3 sheets phyllo pastry, thawed if frozen

3 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted

Method
Prep the Phyllo “Crunch”

Preheat oven to 350 °F / 175 °C.

Brush each phyllo sheet lightly with melted butter, stack, and cut into thin strips.

Spread on a baking sheet and bake 8–10 minutes, stirring once, until golden and crisp. Cool slightly, then crumble.

Make the Nut Filling

Mix walnuts, pistachios, sugar, cinnamon, and cloves in a small bowl. Set aside.

Cookie Dough

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy.

Beat in egg and vanilla.

Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt; fold into butter mixture until just combined.

Assemble & Bake

Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, flatten slightly, and press a teaspoon of nut mixture into the center.

Sprinkle each cookie generously with the baked, crumbled phyllo.

Bake 12–15 minutes until edges are light golden.

Honey Syrup Glaze

In a small pan, combine water, honey, sugar, lemon juice, and peel/cinnamon stick.

Bring to a simmer for 5 minutes; discard peel/stick.

While cookies are warm, drizzle or brush with warm syrup. Let them soak briefly.

🌟 Tips & Serving

For extra sheen, brush a second time with syrup after they cool slightly.

Keeps well in an airtight container for 4–5 days the flavors deepen overnight.

A scatter of extra pistachios or a pinch of rose petals makes them look bakery-fancy.

These cookies capture all the nutty, buttery sweetness of baklava in a quick handheld treat—perfect with Turkish tea or strong coffee.
