Delicious rose scented Jordanian Cookie,shaped like sambusik/samosa with a sweet walnut filling and made with ghee.
Make the filling first - Grind/powder walnuts adding sugar.I wnt for a coarse powder. Add the rosewater and give a final mix.Keep aside
Mix together oil,milk and sugar. Add in the flour and knead gently to get a smooth dough.
Roll out the dough to atleast 1/4' thickness or as thin as you want. Cut out circles from the dough using 1' cookie cutter. The original mentioned 2' circles, but since I used the smallest quantity of ingredients,I went for 1 inch circles.
Fill each circle with about 1/4 tsp of filling. Fold over the circle and pinch the sides together.
Bend each cookie to get a crescent shape or sambusik shape.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for about 10 or until the sides/bottoms are slightly browned. Mine took barely 8 minutes.
Take out,cool a bit and serve dusted with icing sugar.
the original is based on the recipe in "the language of baklava" by diana abu jaber. you can see my version here -
