Print Recipe

Delicious Baklava Cream Sandwich Cookies combine the rich flavors of baklava with a creamy filling, creating a unique and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for filling)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and baking soda. Gradually add to the butter mixture and mix until combined.
  4. Fold in chopped walnuts and honey. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the filling, beat together powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Once cookies are cooled, spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another.

Notes

For a nuttier flavor, substitute walnuts with pistachios. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For a richer filling, add a tablespoon of honey to the cream mixture.
