Ghraybeh

Hello everyone,

I'm back! I couldn't post last week because I was really busy. I'm trying to keep up with my blog but sometimes I really can't. I got too many things going on.

Anyway, I'm back today with an easy recipe. Very easy and delicious! Couple of weeks ago I posted the Barazek recipe, and as you all know (or at least some of you), Barazek always come with Ghraybeh. They are both butter-based cookies, very light, and really good.

Ingredients:

2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
pistachios (you will need 1 pistachio for each cookie)

Directions:

• Beat butter and sugar with a mixer. You can just mix them with your hand since the butter is soft. Add flour gradually and work out to form smooth dough.
• Put the dough in the fridge for 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Form small sized balls from the dough and place them on a baking sheet (leaving space between them).
• Press one pistachio in the middle of each ball forming a small cookie. Be careful, you don't need to press them too much. You can also make any shape you want, like S-shape, ... .
  
• Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. You don't want them to turn gold, you want them to keep their white color.
