Ingredients:

For the cookie dough:.

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk

For the lukumia filling:.

1 cup lukumia (Turkish delight), cut into small cubes

Instructions:

First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer or do this by hand.

Add the vanilla extract and mix well to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

2. Assembling the Lukumia-Stuffed Cookies

Take about one tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand.

Place a small cube of lukumia in the center of the flattened dough.

Fold the edges of the dough over the lukumia, sealing it completely. Roll the dough into a smooth ball shape.

Repeat this process for the remaining dough and lukumia cubes.

3. Baking the Lukumia-Stuffed Cookies

Place the stuffed cookie balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy these lukumia-stuffed cookies while they are still warm or store them in an airtight container for later indulgence.
