Chocolate Chip Baklava – Rich and Buttery

Desserts, Recipes |

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

Chocolate Chip Baklava -- delicate, flaky phyllo dough layers over an eggless chocolate chip cookie dough. A great twist on tradition! | The Recipe Wench

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.
Chocolate Chip Baklava with layers of delicate, flaky (store bought!) phyllo dough. Drizzled with a brown sugar vanilla glaze | The Recipe Wench

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 9×13 baking dish.

 Enjoy! – The Recipe Wench

  • 1 box phyllo dough sheets (thawed)
  • 2-1/2 sticks butter, divided
  • COOKIE DOUGH
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 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
  • 1/2 cup water

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Cream together 1-1/2 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
