Instructions

1 Start by making the cookie dough by mixing all the dry ingredients in a bowl.
Then add all of the wet ingredients. Place in the fridge for 15-30 minutes,
while working on the baklava topping.
2 Make the baklava topping by adding the almonds, walnuts, and pistachios in a
food processor and process until the nuts are a coarse meal. Then add dates and
lemon zest and process for a few seconds. Add the maple syrup and process until
the dates are completely broken down and the mixture is sticky.
3 Take your dough out of the fridge and roll the dough into about 1 heaping
tablespoon-sized balls and then flatten like a disc and place on a parchment
paper lined cookie sheet.
4 Next take some of the baklava topping and press it onto each cookie.
5 Bake at 330℉ for 12-16 minutes, until the edges of the cookie are golden brown.
6 Let cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes, then take them off to cool
completely.
7 Store in an airtight container on the counter or in the fridge.
