KAHK EID COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sesame seeds, sugar, cinnamon, yeast, and salt. Stir with a fork, then add the ghee and warm water and beat with an electric hand mixer until a soft, pliable dough forms.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the pistachio honey filling: In a small pot over medium heat, melt the ghee, then add the flour and stir until golden brown.
• Reduce the heat to low, add the sesame seeds and honey, and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat, add the pistachios, and mix well to incorporate.
• Let the filling cool for 10 minutes, then form into 24 small balls.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Once the dough has rested, roll into 24 balls.
• Press a ball of the pistachio filling into the center of a dough ball, then wrap in the dough and roll again into a ball that completely encases the filling. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling. Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheet.
• Press the cookies lightly into a Mamoul tool, or make a crosshatch pattern using a fork.
• Bake the cookies for 18-20 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
• Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
• When ready to serve, dust the cookies with powdered sugar.
• Enjoy!

KAHK

Steps:

• 1. Heat the samn balady until almost boiling. 2. Add the baking powder and the spices to the flour. 3. Carefully add the flour to the hot samn balady and stir with a wooden spoon. 4. Keep stirring and stirring and stirring. 5. When you get tired (honestly this is part of the recipe as given to me by my friend's mother in law, ... tired = your arms are ready to fall off) then you can stop stirring. Her recipe said not to use a wooden spoon but to knead the flour into the hot samna, but I do not do that part. I have not tried using a food processor. 6. When the mixture cools down a little, but is still warm, (ie you can knead it with your hands without causing permanent damage), add the instant yeast to the milk with a teaspoon of sugar, then stir gently into the dough. 7. Knead it for a short while, cover and let it rest. (Officially you should shape the kahk now and let it rest later). 8. After an hour or so you can start shaping the dough with your hands into little balls and then flatten them. 9. You can add nuts, agwa, or other filling when you are making it into balls. 10. Put them in a cookie tray and let them rest for a little. 11. Then put them in a preheated oven (345 F), and watch them. Usually 15 minutes is enough. 12. Take them out, wait until they cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar just before eating.
