5 Easy Baklava Recipes

Baklava cookies

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). For the filling, combine 1.5 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons butter, and 1/4 cup powdered sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Melt and bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool. While the mixture is cooling, roll the thawed cookie dough into 2-inch (5 cm) balls. Bake for about 8 minutes, or until the cookies are 2-3 minutes from set. Remove from the oven and spoon a small amount of filling into each cookie, then bake until golden brown.

Step 4

Drizzle with honey and serve.
