A simple traditional Arabic recipe for cookies similar to shortbread. The wonderful flavor comes from the cardamom, which is fairly expensive, but very worth it. I actually prefer them without the almonds, but you might add them if you like.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- 12 almonds, split (Optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, stir together the butter and sugar until smooth. Stir in flour and cardamom until well blended. Pinch off tablespoonfuls of dough, and roll into a thin rope. Join the ends together in a circle, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Place almond halves on the joints where the circles come together.
Step 3
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. The cookies should remain white, but may turn golden at the very edge.
