A festive cookie from Jordanian baking, ma'amoul is made by filling semolina dough with a date paste and pressing it into a patterned mould before baking. Its lightly sweetened dough also makes it a fitting option for anyone after a lower-calorie treat.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the dough

5 min

Mix the semolina and melted butter together.

2

Let it rest

5 min

Let the semolina and butter mixture rest for five minutes; this lets the semolina absorb the fat.

3

Add the yeast and water

5 min

Dissolve the yeast in the water, add it to the dough, and knead.

4

Make the filling

5 min

Mix the mashed dates with the cinnamon.

5

Shape the cookies

8 min

Take ball-shaped pieces of dough, fill with the date paste, and press into a mould to pattern them.

6

Bake

15 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for fifteen minutes, until the bottoms turn lightly golden.

7

Serve

2 min

Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar and serve.

Reminder

Do not press too hard into the mould, or the cookie may crack while baking. Allergens: contains gluten (semolina) and dairy (butter).

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you do not have a mould, you can press a pattern with the back of a fork; it will not fully match the traditional shape, but the flavour stays the same.
