Is the recipe you gave dstroy, "pate sablee", the one for the cookies with the jam in the center?
I was amazed at all the beautiful things you bake. weavershouse
Thank you weaverhouse, actually i baked for the feast 10 kinds of cookies and biscuits , If you would have the chance to taste the egyptian kinds , you will never forget its taste , very rich in taste.
Sablee is the one with jam in the center, Eli asked me also about the straws biscuits , these are very tasty.
The sugar iced biscuits are very egyptian , it is called Kahk , it is made of fresh yeast and butter ghee and filled with loukoums and walnuts , the cookie itself is flavored by using " mahleb" do you know it . it is a kind of spice extracted from the cherry seed, i collect the cherry seed especially for this kind of cookie which is very traditional one of the feast.
Thank you for being interested in my cookies dish.
