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

These cookies were a little too dry for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.
