BAKLAVA THUMBPRINT COOKIES



Baklava Thumbprint Cookies image

The topping on my sister-in-law's peach cobbler was so delicious that I asked for the recipe, then decided to use that to top a cookie I developed with the flavors of baklava. My adult son tried one and immediately ate two more-which is unusual for him! It's a good recipe to mix up the night before and bake fresh the next day for company. -Sharon Eshelman, Harrington, Delaware

  • Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking will make it tough.
  • Roll the dough out thinly, about 1/16 inch thick. This will help the cookies to be crispy.
  • Brush the dough with melted butter before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the dough from drying out.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cookies. This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature, 375 degrees Fahrenheit, for a short time, about 10-12 minutes. This will help the cookies to be crispy.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
