Description

The most important thing in making Moroccan cookies is to prepare the filling correctly and have a sharp knife. The rest is a matter of technique. Do not try to grind the peanuts and powdered sugar all at once. The paste will take a very long time to grind and the buttery texture may never develop, which will compromise the binding of the filling. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
