Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 cups all purpose flour
3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 pinch kosher salt
1 cup ghee, room temperature
⅓ cup warm water
1 tablespoon ghee, or butter
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1 teaspoon sesame seed
¼ cup honey
½ cup pistachio, coarsely ground
powdered sugar, for dusting

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!
