Walnuts, honey, and cinnamon bring the flavors of baklava into this chewy pinwheel cookie. Not the prettiest cookie, but oh so tasty with a nice cup of coffee or cappuccino.

Time 3h35m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups walnuts
⅔ cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Add flour, baking soda, and salt and beat until well incorporated. Shape dough into a disk, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until firm enough to roll.
  • Place walnuts in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. In a small saucepan, heat honey and cinnamon over medium heat, stirring until honey has liquefied and cinnamon is incorporated. Add walnuts and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll out on a lightly floured surface into a 13x10-inch rectangle. Using a butter knife, spread honey-walnut mixture evenly over the dough to within 1/2-inch from the edges.
  • Starting with the long side, tightly roll the dough, jelly-roll style, to form a log. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Unwrap dough and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place slices, cut-side down, 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until edges begin to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove baking sheets to a cooling rack and let cookies cool completely.

I don't like the texture of these cookies. They're too dry and crumbly.

I'm not a big fan of baklava, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The filling is sweet but not too sweet, and the dough is perfectly flaky.
