Best Moroccan Cinnamon Cookies Mantecados Recipes
MOROCCAN SPICE COOKIES
This is adapted from an old recipe of my mother's, which I believe was from a church cookbook. I was looking for a way to use the wonderful ras-el-hanout spice blend I had on hand and came up with this. I take them to my office holiday cookie swap every year and they're always a hit. Ras-el-hanout can be found at Middle Eastern grocery stories, but I recommend the blend sold by The Spice House (www.thespicehouse.com).
