Used to live in the old city of Jerusalem and loved these cookies. Made them as a surprise for my Syrian friend today. She's going to flip out Shukron!

Waiting for a sfeeha video 😅🙂. Can't wait to make these cookies for this Ramadan!

[@damascuscuisine9885]

I will make a sfeeha (meat pie) video at some point! It's similar to the manakeesh video I have, but with meat instead of zataar!

Hi i have tried sooooooo many different recipes and yours is the only one that has worked for me I'm so happy thank you for this recipe xx

[@damascuscuisine9885]

Glad to hear that! I always test and refine! I went through 2 jars (like 5 pounds) of clarified butter testing this recipe 😅
I had always bought Ghraybeh from pastry shops in Damascus, never really made it at home.
