SEMOLINA COOKIES (SEKERPARE) image

Categories     Cookies     Nut     Bake     Dinner

Number Of Ingredients 12

300g all-purpose flour
100g semolina
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
250g butter cold
100g powder sugar
1-2 eggs, depending on size + 1 egg white
30 whole hazelnuts, unsalted
1 egg yolk, scrambled
1 pint water
1lb sugar
juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • Briefly preheat oven to 350. Put all the dry dough ingredients in a large bowl and mix well to make sure the baking powder is well incorporated. Add the eggs and butter and mix into a ball with hands. Continue kneading on a cold surface by scraping dough the counter with palms of hands. Shape into walnut sized balls and place on a lightly greased baking tray with an lip. Place one hazelnut, pointy side up on top of each cookie. Brush the surface with egg yolk and place them in an oven for 25-30 minutes. Once you put the cookies in the oven bring the water, sugar, and lemon juice to a boil in a pot. Reduce heat and simmer for a few minutes until all the sugar is dissolved. When the cookies are ready, remove them from the oven, and immediately pour the syrup over them. When the tops of the cookies are soft they are ready. Decorate with ground pistachios, coconut flake, or sprigs of fresh mint. Serve at room temperature. Will keep for a few minutes outside of the refridgerator.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out really bland.

I think these cookies would be better if they were baked for a few minutes less.

The cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out a bit too much.

The cookies were a bit dry, but the syrup helped to moisten them up.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think they would be perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

I'm not a fan of semolina, but I actually really liked these cookies. They're not too heavy or dense.

I've made these cookies several times and they're always a hit. They're a great way to use up leftover semolina.

These cookies are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them the day before my party and they were still delicious the next day.

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and nutty. They're also very addictive, so be warned!

I've never had semolina cookies before, but I'm so glad I tried this recipe. They're so easy to make and they taste amazing! I'll definitely be making these again.

These semolina cookies were a delightful treat! The texture was crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside, and the syrup added the perfect amount of sweetness. I loved the nutty flavor of the semolina.
