It doesn’t
matter what Egyptians are celebrating, food will be there! And depending on the
holiday, cookies may be the star of the occasion like during Eid-ul-Fitr or
Christmas. The butter cookies we’re making here, called Ghorayeba
in Egyptian, are bite-size cookies that quickly melt in your mouth and leave
you desiring for more. Watch out for that kid next to the cookies plate
otherwise, I promise, the plate will be empty in no time.
Egyptian
butter cookies, called Ghorayeba, are easy to make with simple ingredients and
delicious results. Using the electric mixer, putting it all together is
very easy. If you’re allergic to nuts, the addition of cloves is a great
alternative. Cloves bring a unique sense of freshness to the cookie.
