These easy vegan Baklava Cookies have all the flavor of the famous middle Eastern dessert! They are made with almond flour and therefore entirely gluten-free. A quick snack or dessert! Grainfree soyfree recipe. Can be oilfree

vegan glutenfree baklava cookies

A good book, a cup of coffee, and a plate of freshly baked vegan baklava cookies – that’s what your perfect fall afternoon could look like.

Clearly, I love my almond flour cookies, see these snickers cookies, molasses cookies, and chocolate thumbprints! And I love the flavors from baklava! See my baklava cake, baklava lassi. 

So it was just a matter of time before I came up with a bite-sized version of this famous Levantine dessert and could not be happier with how they turned out.

Seriously, you got to try these Baklava cookies!

I took my easy almond flour cookie base and added a bit of lemon zest and topped it all off with a mixture of dates and nuts. These are soft and delicious and utterly addictive.

Why am I making these with almond flour and gluten-free? I don’t have a problem with eating regular flour. But since I made the almond cookies, I just love the ease of the recipe, there’s no beating the butter and sugar, you just need 1 Bowl and a spoon for the dough. There’s limited sugar. Almond flour adds  protein and fiber and makes for a wholesome and less carb cookie. The texture is amazing. It’s basically an awesome cookie which happens to be gluten-free and vegan!

Why you’ll love these cookies

  • they can be made Oilfree with more maple syrup

  • they are also much easier than making the regular cookies which need beating loads of butter and sugar

Author: Vegan Richa

Ingredients

For the cookies:

  • 1 cup (112 g) almond flour , blanched superfine works best. Natural almond flour will work as well
  • 3 tablespoon tapioca starch or use potato or corn starch (or use 2 tbsp all purpose flour if ok with gluten)
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon powdered sugar or cane sugar

Wet ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp refined coconut oil, measure in semi-solid state, melt before using , see note for oil free
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
  • zest of 1/4 of a lemon (Heaping 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the baklava topping:

  • 2 tablespoon raw almonds or cashews or walnuts
  • 2 tablespoon walnuts or pecans
  • 2 tablespoon shelled raw unsalted pistachios, Pistachios add a lot to the baklava flavor. You can sub walnuts or pecans.
  • 8 small dates or 5-6 medjool dates
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup, Or more as needed
  • zest of 1/4 of a lemon

Instructions

  • Make the cookie dough: Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Press and mix to break the almond flour lumps. Add the (melted) coconut oil, vanilla, maple syrup, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix well. The mixture will be somewhat sticky, chill for 15-30 minutes.

  • In the meantime, make your topping; Add almonds, walnuts, and pistachios to a food processor and process until the nuts are evenly chopped and the mixture is close to a coarse meal. Then add dates, lemon zest, salt, and maple syrup. Process until the dates break down and the mixture is sticky.

  • Once the mixture is getting somewhat sticky, remove it from the food processor. Take the chilled cookie dough from the fridge. Use a 1.5 -2 tbsp cookie scoop or spoon and Scoop the mixture onto a  parchment lined baking sheet.

  • Roll the scoops into even balls and then press into flat discs. Then top the disc with baklava nut mixture (You can just put small portions of the mixture and press it on the cookie. Or you can make a flat disc out of a nut mixture and press it over the cookie like a thumbprint)

  • Bake at 330 degrees Fahrenheit (165C) for 12-14 minutes. Time depends on the size of the cookie and the cookie sheet you’re using. You might need to adjust it for 1 to 2 minutes more or less.

  • You want them to just start getting golden on the edges, but not any more than else they get too crisp. The cookie will be soft when it comes out of the oven. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.

  • Let them cool for 10-15 minutes before taking them off the cookie sheet. Cool completely and serve.Store in a closed container on the counter for upto 3 days. Refrigerate for longer storage.

Notes

  • You can use orange zest instead of lemon zest
  • if you want, you could add some cinnamon and cardamom to the baklava mixture
  • Oil free: omit the oil and use 1.5 tablespoons smooth nut butter. Almond or cashew preferred, peanut adds too much peanut flavor
