Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina, flour, powdered sugar, and baking powder. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    Add softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until a smooth dough forms.

  3. 3

    Chill the Dough

    Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Fillings

    While the dough chills, prepare your desired fillings by mixing the chopped pistachios, walnuts, and dates in separate bowls.

  5. 5

    Shape the Cookies

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a small piece of dough, flatten it in your palm, add a spoonful of filling, and shape it into a ball. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the bottoms are lightly golden.
