MMMMMCOOKY FILLING

2 cup Sweet butter
1 cup Confectioners' sugar
1 Egg yolk
1 tsp Vanilla or almond extract
4 cup Flour

MMMMMSYRUP

4 cup Granulated sugar
4 cup Water
1 cup Honey
Lemon juice to taste

MMMMMBAKLAVA

1 lb Toasted blanched almonds *
1/2 cup Zwieback crumbs
4 tbsp Granulated sugar
1 dash Cinnamon
1 lb Phyllo pastry sheets
1 1/2 cup Sweet butter, melted
Instructions:
*Note: Either toasted blanched almonds, or walnut meats, or half of
each, (finely chopped) may be used.

Cooky Filling: Cream the 2 cups sweet butter until light. Gradually
beat in the confectioners' sugar and continue to beat until mixture
is fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla or almond extract and blend well.
Work in about 4 cups flour to make a medium-soft dough. Set aside
and make syrup.

Syrup: In a saucepan combine the granulated sugar and water. Bring
to a boil and boil for 15 minutes or until syrup is slightly thick.
Add honey and again bring to the boiling point. Add lemon juice to
taste, and cool.

Mix almonds or walnuts, or a combination of the two, with zwieback, 4
T granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Brush 2 sheets of phyllo pastry
evenly with butter and sprinkle with nut mixture. Place 2 buttered
sheets of phyllo on top and sprinkle with nut mixture. Shape a
portion of cooky filling into a 1/2-inch-thick roll and place the
roll along one edge of the pastry sheets. Roll up loosely, cut into
2-inch slices, and place slices in a buttered cake pan. (Continue in
this method until all phyllo pastry and/or cooky filling is used.)
Brush tops of each slice with butter and bake in a 350 F oven for 20
minutes or until lightly browned. Dip the hot baklava slices, one at
a time, in cold syrup, allowing each piece to remain in the syrup for
a few minutes.
