BAKLAVA THUMBPRINT COOKIES

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

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp orange zest
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup pecans, chopped
1/3 cup almonds, chopped
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cloves
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup honey
3 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp fresh orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8-inch square metal baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk together melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, and orange zest until combined. Whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl; add to butter mixture and fold in until incorporated. Press dough evenly into bottom of prepared pan and bake crust for 15 to 16 minutes, until lightly golden and set.
  • While the crust bakes, make the nut topping. Combine pecans, almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a small bowl; add melted butter and stir until incorporated. Spoon topping evenly over warm crust and return pan to oven. Continue baking another 10 to 12 minutes, until golden.
  • While the bars finish baking, make the syrup. Combine honey, water, and orange juice in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let mixture simmer until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • Place baked bars on a wire rack and drizzle syrup over still-warm topping, tilting pan slightly to coat evenly. Cool bars completely in pan. Carefully lift parchment and place bars on a cutting board; cut into triangles with a sharp knife. If desired, serve with a drizzle of honey. Store leftover bars in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
