Almond Ghriba is a beloved biscuit that is essential for family gatherings and special occasions in Morocco. Often alongside a piping hot cup of Moroccan mint tea.

Ghriba, which in Moroccan means "strange," is a term used to refer to a variety of round-shaped crinkle cookies.

These cookies are often considered gluten-free treats since they typically rely on a nut paste as their base; however, it's important to use gluten-free ingredients like baking soda and starch for them to be safely gluten-free.

This version of Ghriba, is made with almonds, which are blended with sugar to form the chewy base of the cookie. The paste is then flavored with lemon zest, and rolled into bite sized bites, before being coated in powdered sugar.

Once baked, the cookie must be allowed to cool completely so that it doesn't crumble. Then all that's left is to enjoy it with the hot drink of your choice!

Follow the dada's instructions, and learn to make this delicious cookie at home!
