This cookie is definitely going on the remake list! It is a wonderful honey-walnut cookie that tastes spectacular! My husband had requested these cookies once after having a disappointing experience with the actual Baklava dessert because it was too sticky and all the flavors were kind of mushed together, and he had said ‘you should make a cookie that tastes like baklava’ and so here they are-the recipe is an adaptation of about 3 different recipes i found, and are husband & friend approved 🙂

I’ve got to try this!!
Thanks for the comment Dawn, these were soooo good! I think you will not be disappointed 🙂
I love Baklava and I too attempted to make it ONCE! It took hours to do and ended up a sticky mess, tasty but certainly not the pretty little bite sized bits I was expecting to create. I buy it from a specialty store now. These on the other hand look simple enough that I could make them! I cannot wait to try this recipe.
Thanks for the comment Marion, these are definitely worth trying! They have all the amazing flavor, but none of the mess!
I would never, ever attempt baklava, but I adore it!! These might be my holiday treat for friends this year!! Although, maybe I should make something I don’t like quite as much 😉
Hahahah Lauren, with these little beauties you won’t ever have to attempt to make baklava, but you can make one stunning and tasty little cookie!
How much sugar? I don’t see that in the ingredients, am I missing it? Thx!
Hi Lauren-It is 2 cups sugar-it shows up right under the Flour, is it not showing up on your end?
Oh, thank you, I see it on the post, but when I printed it, it just shows flour and then walnuts!
Oh no! I printed it and the same thing happened! Then I went back into the post,deleted the sugar and added it again, tried printing and viola, there it was! So thank you for pointing that out, hopefully it is fixed now, so odd that that happened.
I’ve always been nervous about making Baklava, these looks so easy and good, thank you for sharing
I was always skeptical too-not wanting to mess around will all the phyllo dough. These cookies are delicious and easy, I think you’ll really enjoy them. Thanks for the comment!
“A cookie that tastes like baklava” is genius!
Thank you!
Oh, my! These sound heavenly! I adore a good baklava, so much so that on my birthday it is our tradition to try a new Greek restaurant, if possible, just so I can eat birthday baklava. I must try these! Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for the comment Lilah, what an awesome story, hope you enjoy the cookies, I think you’ll find once you make them once, you’ll be making them over and over.
baklava is one o my all time fav deserts! making it into a cookie form sounds even better…can’t wait try this one..ty for sharing!
Sounds awesome! I love Baklava but it is such work with the phyllo. I’ll have to try these and see if my Greek husband likes them.
I totally agree-phyllo is SO difficult to work with! These little delicious cookies leave all the hard stuff out but taste amazing! Hope you enjoy!
I’ve never heard of baklava cookies, but they look tasty. I think I might give these a try. Thanks for posting. 🙂
Thanks for the comment Victoria, I think you’ll love them, they are definitely tasty!
Sweetphi, I wanted to report back on my results! These cookies are amazing!! I loved them, and they were very easy to make! Just a quick note, for anyone who uses raw honey, I had a strong, completely raw and unfiltered honey, and it didn’t taste quite right. Definitely use filtered, processed honey, because the glaze tastes like honey, and it will change the flavor. Thanks again!
Thanks for letting me know how they turned out Lauren, much appreciated! I’m glad the cookies were amazing!! I’m definitely going to add that comment about not using raw honey for others 🙂 thanks again!
Ok…I have to say that I am intrigued!! I’m greek and I feel like I HAVE to try these!!
haha Georgia, you definitely HAVE to try these, they’re really good and easy to make, thanks for the comment!

Oh why thank you for the nice comment Eric! I think Andrew Zimmern would definitely give these cookies a try 🙂

Thanks Stacy, I bet they’ll be amazing when you make them 🙂
