Ghraybeh is a traditional Middle Eastern shortbread cookie that is typically made with butter, powdered sugar, flour, and often flavored with ingredients like rose water or orange blossom water. The dough is rolled into balls, pressed with a fork to create a distinctive pattern, and baked until golden brown.
Ghraybeh is a popular dessert across the Middle East and can be found in many variations depending on the region. Some versions are made with semolina flour, coconut, or almonds, and some are filled with dates or other nuts.
These cookies are a favorite during festive occasions such as Eid and Christmas, and they are often served with a cup of tea or Arabic coffee. They have a delicate texture and a rich buttery flavor that melts in your mouth.
