MIDDLE EASTERN BUTTER COOKIES
Popular from Morocco to Turkey, the cookies called kurabia-also known as gourabia or ghorayebah-may be shaped like little balls or even bracelets. They are sometimes made with semolina instead of flour. Photo and recipe by: http://www.biggirlssmallkitchen.com

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using an electric mixer, cream the butter in a large mixing bowl until it turns white, about 1 minute. Add the sugar and continue to beat for about 5 minutes, until very smooth and creamy. The combination will look a lot like buttercream! Reduce speed of the mixer and slowly work in the flour with a spatula. The dough will be quite soft.
- Take walnut-sized pieces and roll them into balls, then flatten slightly. Place them on the baking sheet 3 inches from each other (these spread a bit). Press a nut onto the center of each cookie.
- Bake for 12 to 18 minutes, watching carefully: you want the cookies to be firm but completely white...not brown at all. Cool on the sheets for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
