Moroccan Cookies Ghriba Food

ROSE AND ALMOND GHRIBA

Rose and Almond Ghriba image

These delightful cookies, which are adapted from "Casablanca: My Moroccan Food" by Nargisse Benkabbou (Firefly, 2018), are like a cracked and caky rose lukum, a jelly candy often referred to as Turkish delight. Ghriba is a specific type of cookie that Moroccans bake all year long. Recipes vary depending on the region or the family, but they all have one thing in common: They are cracked on the outside and chewy on the inside. When it comes to ghriba, the flavoring possibilities are endless. The most popular varieties are almond, coconut and walnut.

Time 45m

Yield 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2/3 cup/100 grams confectioners' sugar, for coating
2 3/4 cups/300 grams ground almonds
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon/80 grams granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 heaped teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon rose water
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Place confectioners' sugar in a small bowl.
Place all of the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and use your hands or a large spatula to mix them together until you have a smooth and slightly sticky dough. Scoop the dough in heaping single tablespoonfuls (about 30 grams each) and roll each into a ball, then roll each ball in confectioners' sugar until completely coated.
Transfer the coated dough balls to the lined cookie sheet and lightly press each with the palm of your hand, but don't flatten them completely.
Immediately bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the cookies are cracked and firm on the outside. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store the cookies in an airtight container to prevent them from drying out. They will keep for up to seven days.

Gather all of your ingredients as well as a very large bowl or use your countertop as a work surface. This will make it a lot easier. Start by mixing the dry ingredients and forming a well in the middle of the mixture. Pour in the orange blossom water and 1/2 cup oil. Begin kneading the dough. You truly need to do this part by hand and it will take some time (approximately 10 minutes of kneading.)
Continue to add oil as you go until the dough sticks together when you press it into a ball. If it is still crumbly add more oil, a little at a time. You want the dough to feel slightly wet and oily to the touch but still be soft.
Leave the dough alone to rest for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 325F (160C). Clean the tray you will be using to bake your cookies and lightly grease to avoid sticking. If you are not using the special cookie, sheet prepare a large baking pan and line with parchment paper. Once the dough has rested take off pieces about the size of a ping pong ball (about 2 inches or 5cm across) and form into a small disc. The edges should not crack. If they do, re-roll the ball.
Place the discs onto the baking pan. If using the specialty pan for this the cookies will naturally form around the circle. If using a baking pan you can set them down as they are.
