Ghraiba cookies

Ingredients:

3/4 cup butter (a stick and a half)1 cup and 1/4 cup Garbanzo flour 1/3 cup Flour (replace with oat flour or quinoa flour for gluten-free)1/2 cup powdered sugarVegetable oil

In a small sauce pan, melt the butter, skimming the foam, and lightly cook until it has a golden brown colour and smells nutty.  In a large bowl, mix the flours and sugar, then drizzle in the butter.

With your hands, mix the butter in until it is evenly distributed than begin to knead the dough, squeezing it together, until it becomes less crumbly.

 

 

Then, continuing to knead and squeeze the dough together, make rolls that are about an inch in diameter.

 

 

Once all the dough is rolled out, place rolls on cookies sheet (either oiled or using wax paper) and using a butter knife gently cut them diagonally into 2 inch pieces.

Place this to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 275º F (or 130º C).

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until just barely golden.  Let them cool fully before moving.
