If you go to any Moroccan bakery, you will, for sure, find them selling "Kab-El-Ghazal". It is a staple Moroccan cookie that literally means "the ankles of a gazelle" and it is also translated to "gazelle horns" due to the unique crescent shape of this cookie. The are different variation of Kab-El-Ghazal ; the original recipe is made of almond paste covered with a thin layer of pastry, but you can also find the ones covered with powdered sugar and others covered with sesame seeds. We are going to make the ones covered with sesame seeds. This is a simple recipe that will bring the flavors of Morocco right to your home!

mmmm this sounds good with tea.. they are tea cookies right? also if they are, with which tea would you pair it with? mint or black?

A delicious recipe, as usual =)

Can we skip the mastic gum?

Thanks!

[cookingwithalia]

@EsthesiSp yes you can - but mastic gum brings this unique flavor of Moroccan cookies. you can buy a bunch for 5-6 dollars from Amazon.com and it will last you the whole year!

How can I be sure these cookies are done when baked? I like them moist and chewy on the inside. Thank you!
