Sometimes, in the midst of the autumn chill and winter cold, you so want to feel the warmth and aroma of summer again, to refresh your memory of the smell of summer holidays, especially if you spent your vacation somewhere in the East. All this can be fully realized by cooking something from oriental sweets. For example, Arabic biscuits.
It is necessary
-
- To make cookies, you need the following ingredients:
- 600 grams of flour;
- 250 grams (pack) of butter;
- about 180 milliliters of orange juice;
- 70 grams of dried dates;
- 120 grams of nuts;
- three tablespoons of granulated sugar;
- ground cinnamon (half a teaspoon);
- icing sugar for decoration.
Instructions
Step 1
Pour three cups of flour (preferably wheat flour) in an amount of about 600 grams into a deep plate. Make a dimple in the center of the flour.
Step 2
Melt 150 grams of butter in a saucepan and pour it into the well in the flour.
Step 3
Add 180 milliliters of orange juice to the flour and butter. Orange juice should be watery. If desired, orange juice can be replaced with another fruit filler or juice, but to maintain the Arabic flavor, it is better to take something from oriental fruits. In this recipe, the juice gives the future liver an additional fruity aroma, so that not so much the taste will depend on this filler, but the smell of the delicacy.
Step 4
Mix all the ingredients well in a bowl for a silky, tender dough.
Step 5
Next, start preparing the filling. Take the nuts. You can use peanuts, hazelnuts, or any other kind, either singular or mixed. The mixture of nuts adds to the flavor of the cookie. Grind or grind the nuts. It's okay if some of the nut pieces are large.
Step 6
Combine the nut mixture with the remaining butter, chopped dates, granulated sugar and cinnamon. Mix everything well.
Step 7
Form medium-sized balls from the dough and flatten them a little to form a depression, place the filling there. The ideal cavity size should be large enough to hold one teaspoon of the filling. Of course, the amount of filling per cookie can be varied as you like best.
Step 8
After placing the filling, roll up the ball, that is, the filling should appear as if inside the ball.
Step 9
Take a baking sheet, put baking paper on it, grease it with oil. Put the prepared cookies on a baking sheet and place the baking sheet in an oven preheated to two hundred degrees C.
Step 10
As soon as half an hour has passed and the cookies are golden brown, remove them from the oven and sprinkle the balls with powdered sugar.
