I've made these cookies several times and they're always a hit. They're so easy to make and they taste amazing. I love the combination of the nutty flavor from the semolina flour and the sweetness from the sugar.

These cookies are absolutely delicious! They have a wonderful nutty flavor and are perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly.
