Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, semolina, powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add the softened unsalted butter to the bowl and mix everything together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Incorporate the chopped pistachios, ground cardamom, and vanilla extract into the dough. Knead gently until the dough comes together and forms a smooth, cohesive ball.
-
Take a small piece of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and gently press down to flatten slightly. Continue this process with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies a few inches apart on the sheet.
-
Using a fork, create a crisscross pattern on the top of each cookie to add a decorative touch.
-
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
-
Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve these delightful Egyptian Cookies alongside a cup of tea or coffee for a truly indulgent treat that will have everyone asking for the recipe.
