Baklava Cream Sandwich Cookies
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chopped pistachios
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup caramel sauce for drizzling
Additional chopped pistachios and walnuts for garnish
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the honey and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped pistachios and walnuts.
Roll the dough into small balls and flatten slightly with your palm. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.
Once the cookies are cooled, spread a generous amount of cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to create a sandwich.
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the top of each sandwich cookie and garnish with additional chopped pistachios and walnuts.
