Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 120 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 100 grams Pistachios, finely chopped
- 100 grams Walnuts, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 120 milliliters Honey
- 60 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pistachios, walnuts, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar to make the nut filling.
Prepare your workstation by unrolling the phyllo dough sheets and covering them with a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out.
Take one sheet of phyllo dough and lightly brush it with melted butter. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top and brush it with butter as well.
Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of the nut filling evenly over the buttered phyllo stack.
Using your fingers or a small rolling pin, gently roll the phyllo dough into a tight cylinder starting from one short edge.
Place the rolled dough on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining phyllo sheets and nut filling.
Using a sharp knife, cut each rolled log into 2-inch (5 cm) long pieces.
Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
While the cookies are baking, prepare the honey syrup by combining the honey, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the syrup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Once the cookies are out of the oven, immediately drizzle the warm honey syrup evenly over the hot cookies.
Let the cookies soak in the syrup for about 15 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the baklava cookies at room temperature and enjoy their flaky, nutty goodness!
