I've been holding on posting cookie recipes until I have time to bake them. But the urgent requests keep coming for Ramadan. So I will insert photos later.
Ghribia or ghribiya are made from all purpose flour, semolina flour or even chick pea flour in Algeria. Sometimes a little corn flour or ground almonds are added. My preference is for the ones made with semolina. So I will present that one first.
Ingredients:
1 kg semolina flour
1 kg de semoule
2 sticks of butter, softened.
225 gr de beurre
3 eggs, yolks and whites separated
3 oeufs, separe les jaunes d'oeuf des blancs d'oeuf
750 gr confectioner's sugar (some people add less sugar)
750 gr de sucre glace
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/4 cuillere a cafe de sel
Whole blanched almonds for decoration (optional)
Oil for the baking sheets
Yields approximately 7 dozen cookies.
EDIT!!! I forgot to add that you should have some vegetable oil at hand in case the dough is too dry and does not bind. Add a few tablespoons of oil until the mass comes together.
