I love these wedges. They are rich and very reminiscent of baklava. This year was my second time making them and I used brown sugar in place of white, very yummy change. I used prepared pie dough. For the chocolate I use the microwave. I take 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1 1/2 TBLS butter, melt them together, place this in a pastry bag and pipe it onto the cookie wedges.
