A delightful and luscious holiday cookie. Ingredients:
1 cup finely chopped walnuts |
1/3 cup+5 tsp. sugar, divided |
1 tbsp. freshly grated orange zest |
1/2 tsp. cinnamon |
1/4 tsp. ground cloves |
8 sheets phyllo dough (9x14 ), thawed |
butter flavored cooking spray |
topping |
1/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300*. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat liners.
2. To prepare logs: In a small bowl, combine nuts, 1/3 cup sugar, orange zest, cinnamon and cloves.
3. Place 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface. Coat thoroughly with cooking spray. Top with another sheet of phyllo and coat with cooking spray. Sprinkle 1/4 of the walnut mixture ( about 1/3 cup) evenly over the phyllo.
4. Using a sharp knife, cut the large phyllo rectangle, lengthwise into 3 strips, then in half crosswise to form 6 smaller rectangular strips.
5. Beginning at a short end, loosely roll each strip into a neat log. Repeat with the remaining phyllo and walnut mixture.
6. Place the logs, seam side down, 1/2 apart on the prepared baking sheets. Spray tops lightly with cooking spray and sprinkle with remaining sugar.
7. Bake the logs, in batches, until golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely.
8. To prepare Topping: Place chocolate chips in a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Continue to microwave in 20 second intervals, until melted, stirring after each interval. Transfer the chocolate to a plastic sandwich bag. Snip off a corner, being careful to keep the hole small. Gently drizzle chocolate in a zig-zag motion across the the top of each cooled log. Let stand at room temperature until the chocolate is completely set. Loosely cover and store at room temperature.
