Arabic Style Pistachio Ghribah Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/3 cups melted ghee
- 1/4 cup corn oil
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2.5 cups flour
- 1/2 cup very fine ground pistachio
For decoration
- whole pistachios
Preparation
Set the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 180°C.
Prepare short-edged trays by lining them with parchment paper.
In a mixer bowl, combine melted ghee, corn oil, and powdered sugar. Use the beater attachment and mix on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is light in color. Add flour and fine pistachio, then mix until a smooth and slightly soft dough forms.
Take a walnut-sized piece of dough, shape it into a smooth ball, dip one end in whole pistachios, and place it on the prepared tray. Repeat with the remaining dough, leaving a small space between each ball.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving.
