Looks like it’s the well known Yema here in our place. I’m into cooking for several years now but I haven’t tried making desserts aside from salad and graham cakes. I would love to try this one!

They look so tiny but like someone said once good things come in small quatities i bet this cookies are tasting better than they look.

A great treat for dessert or for snack! I just like your idea of dipping hands in orange blossom water. It can create a synthetic orange flavor that gives something delicious effect to people before taking a bite.

Hi, I’m from Brazil and I have a tip to share about dulce de leche (called “doce de leite” here). Put a can of condensed milk without labels into a pressure pan. Cover it with water, close the pan and wait for the shiiii sound, reduce to low heat, let cook for +- 40 minutes. Let it cool completely inside the pan. Don’t open it if it’s hot. It’s very dangerous. I always do it the day before, near bedtime =)

PS – to make it easier…

So beautiful for such a simple cookie! I’ve definitely become more interested in trying Middle Eastern recipes since I’ve spent so much time in the region, so I can’t wait to test these once I’m back in a kitchen!

Lili – thanks again for the dulce de leche. It was superb. ghee is quite common in pastry making, though probably more so in commercial kitchens than at home. Ghee is too high in saturated fats to be used frequently.

L&J – Thanks for visiting and good luck on your blogging adventure

Arlette – please, help yourself! It's quite good.

Joumana – I love chef Ramzi's recipe hehehe. He is so vague it is not funny. In one of the recipes he asks for an ingredient to go into the fridge and he never ends up using it!!! Crazy

I love these cookies Fouad! I made ghoraybeh recently too and I can relate with the vagueness of traditional recipes being totally frustrating! I have contacted Chef Ramzi before to ask for clarification on his recipes they are so often totally off it is a joke! Anyway!
Great photos and now that you are telling us that alfajores is an arab name, I will try them!

Oh that tin looks familiar! Great to see it being put to use (sorry Lainy!).
Your biscuits look perfectly luxurious. I've never used ghee in a biscuit before, is that a very Lebanese thing?
