Preparation method

How do you make this?

Preheat the oven:
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the dough:
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, granulated sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until a cohesive dough forms.

Shape:
Roll small balls of dough (about the size of a walnut) and place them on the baking sheet. Leave enough space between the cookies.

Decorate (optional):
Gently flatten each ball and place a whole almond on top, if desired.

Bake:
Bake the Ghriba cookies for 12-15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the edges turn light golden brown.

Cool:
Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serve:
Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for an extra sweet touch.
