Those look lovely Beth! I wish I could say that I am crazy about ghraybeh cookies, but the truth is I find the ones in the stores too sweet ; I might try your recipe someday, I have never made them with both semolina and flour.

Oh how adorable – i *love* that cookie cutter! These sound fantastic (and between you and me, I ALWAYS fail to resist the batter when I’m baking!)

Hi there, I loved the idea of this recipe. I am going to be making them today. I was just wondering, would you mind if I used this recipe on my blog (I would be linking back to you, of course)?
*kisses* HH
p.s. You have a fab blog, just discovered it. you and i have a lot in common. I am also a girl from FL living in the UK who is half middle eastern. We should compare notes sometime .

With the semolina you can really see the sun being mixed in with the dough. Very interesting recipe, might try it with my family once I will be back in Sicily

Thanks everyone!

Hey Sarah. Orange blossom water can be found in any Middle Eastern shop! I use it a lot- in rice puddings, chocolate truffles, syrups etc. It’s very versatile. I hope you decide to give it a go as I believe you will truly enjoy it
