Provided by sz8jm9

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 - 2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 cup clarified butter
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
A pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Beat butter until it is almost white. Add the sugar and beat another 2 minutes or so. Add in the flour. Stir completely. The dough will form. Now you can handle it with your hands. Mash the dough with your hands until it is well blended. You can refrigerate it for 10 or 15 minutes to make it more firm. Divide into equal parts and make little balls. Press each ball down with your thumb. You can also roll the dough between your fingers to make a long about 4-inch piece. Join the ends. Place on cookie sheet. Decorate with crush pistachios or with one single pistachio in the middle. Bake on 350° about 15 minutes. The cookies should still be very pale. Don't let them take on color. Let cool about 20-30 minutes.

GHORAYEBA

A simple traditional Arabic recipe for cookies similar to shortbread. The wonderful flavor comes from the cardamom, which is fairly expensive, but very worth it. I actually prefer them without the almonds, but you might add them if you like.
