    Chocolate Chip Baklava - Rich and Buttery

    We're twisting things up a bit with this chocolate chip baklava . . .

    Sweet and rich.  Buttery and flaky.

    Layer after delectable layer -- baklava is the perfect way to top off a delicious meal.

    Just a tiny piece is enough to satisfy my sweet tooth.

    Listen -- I've seen recipes for homemade phyllo dough.  Seriously.

    But I'm just not ready for that.  Someone's going to have to convince me it's worth the time.

    I used store-bought phyllo dough which was fabulous.  Easy to work with.

    And the sheets fit perfectly into a 9x13 baking dish.

    Ingredients

    • 1 box phyllo dough sheets (thawed)
    • 2-½ sticks butter, divided
    • COOKIE DOUGH
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 3 cups flour
    • 1 cup milk chocolate chips
    • 1 cup chopped nuts of your choice (optional)
    • BROWN SUGAR DRIZZLE
    • ½ cup water
    • ¾ cup dark brown sugar
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    • Cream together 1-½ sticks butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar.
    • Add milk and vanilla.
    • Add salt, flour, chocolate chips and nuts.
    • To Assemble Dish:
    • Preheat oven to 350
    • Spray 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray
    • Layer 10 phyllo dough sheets one at a time, dabbing/brushing each with a little melted butter (I basically drizzle about a teaspoon of butter over the phyllo dough and use my fingers to spread it around the sheet)
    • Sprinkle one-half of the cookie dough over the buttered phyllo sheets. Press gently.
    • Layer another 10 phyllo dough sheets, buttering each one.
    • Add remaining cookie dough. Press gently.
    • Finish up with remaining phyllo dough sheets (about 20 of them), buttering every sheet or two.
    • BEFORE baking, use a very sharp knife to cut baklava into squares (or diamonds).
    • Bake until golden (approx. 30-45 minutes).
    • WHILE BAKING, make brown sugar drizzle by heating up water and brown sugar until boiling. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Add vanilla.
    • ONCE baklava come out of oven, drizzle with brown sugar mixture while still warm.
    • Allow baklava to cool completely before removing from baking dish
