Ghoriba – Moroccan Almond Cookies
Servings: 15
Ingredients
- 1 whole egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 ¾ cups sifted powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 2 1/3 cups almond meal
- 2 tablespoons oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray 2 cookie sheets with non stick spray.
- Combine the egg, egg yolk, powdered sugar and baking powder. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Add almond extract, almond meal and oil. By hand, knead until the batter comes together into a dense dough.

- Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden on the edges.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before eating.
Notes
If using freshly ground almonds, they will release their own oils, making the oil unnecessary.
