"This version of the North African semolina cookie called makrout features a homemade almond paste filling flavored with orange flower water and cinnamon. Cake-like in texture, the cookies are fried and then coated in honey. They are traditionally served for special occasions and during Ramadan. The method of preparation is the same as for Makrout with Dates and Honey. See the photo tutorial How to Make Makrout if you're unfamiliar with how the cookies are shaped or cooked...."
