Honeyed Moroccan Ghoriba with Sesame Seeds

Combine dry ingredients

In a bowl, combine flour, semolina, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Cream wet ingredients

In a separate large bowl, whip butter until soft. Add in the vegetable oil, powdered sugar, honey, and vanilla, mixing until creamy.

Form the dough

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing to form a smooth dough.

Toast sesame seeds

Place toasted sesame seeds in a shallow bowl.

Tip: ⚠ Ensure sesame seeds are completely cooled after toasting to avoid melting the dough.

Roll dough into balls

Roll dough into small balls (about 1 inch each).

Tip: 💡 Chill the dough for 10 minutes before rolling for firmer cookies.

Coat in sesame

Gently roll each ball in the sesame seeds, pressing lightly to adhere.
