Description

Baklava Cream Sandwich Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional baklava, combining nutty richness, honey, and spice into a tender cookie sandwich filled with fluffy whipped cream.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (100g) ground walnuts
  • 1 cup (100g) ground pistachios
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup (85g) honey, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer for 3–5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add honey and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, ground walnuts, ground pistachios, and cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
  5. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. On a floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut using a round cookie cutter.
  8. Place cookies on baking sheets and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Let cookies cool on sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gradually add powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  11. Spread cream filling on one cookie and top with another to create a sandwich; repeat with remaining cookies.
  12. Drizzle honey over top of assembled cookies and sprinkle with extra ground pistachios to garnish.

Notes

Chill the dough before rolling to make handling easier. Let cookies cool fully before filling to prevent the cream from melting. Customize by swapping in almonds, hazelnuts, or flavored nuts for a fun twist.
