Raven cookies from Moroccan cuisine (Photo: Alon Mesika)

The rave cookies from North African cuisine, also known as jars, are the simplest and most delicious cookies available.

At their base is fat and flour that create in baking a slightly sandy texture that melts in your mouth with every bite - the burton suffering of Moroccan cuisine if you will.

Moroccan grandmothers used to make it according to quantities of "how much went in", so if you are looking for an exact recipe for this great classic, then this is for you.

I like to enrich the cookie dough with 3 tablespoons of ground almonds, which add a great flavor to it, but can be converted into regular flour for those who are looking for simplicity.

Preparation

How to make jam cookies?

• 1 Preheat oven to 180 degrees.

• 2 In a food processor place the flour, almond flour, baking powder and sugar and process for a few seconds to disperse the ingredients.

• 3 Add the chopped butter and rose extract and process to obtain a crumbly mixture.

• 4 Add the oil and process just until dough begins to form.

  Do not process too much.

  
  
  

  Note:

  To make sure the dough is ready take some of the dough and process to get a ball.

  If the ball is stable and has a plasticine texture, the dough is ready to work.

  If it is still crumbly and not uniting give it just a few more seconds and check again.

• 5 Form the dough into balls the size of nuts and place in a baking pan lined with baking paper.

• 6 Stir in each ball of pistachio or almond dough (stick well so that during baking the decoration does not fall off) and sprinkle a little cinnamon.

• 7 Put in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.

  The cookies should be light and soft to the touch.

• 8 Cool well at room temperature and only then transfer to an airtight jar.
