Sekerpare


Ingredients:

Cookies:
  • 2 sticks butter (at room temperature)
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 5 tbsp semolina
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 lemon or orange zest (optional)
  • nuts for the top (preferably hazelnut)
  • flour (2.5-3 cups)

Syrup:
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 4 cups water
  • half a lemon juice
Preparation:
  1. Start with preparing the syrup. Mix water and sugar in a pot. Add lemon juice and let the mixture boil for 7-8 minutes. Set it aside to cool down while making the cookies.
  2. Mix butter, powdered sugar, semolina, eggs and vanilla; add flour (little by little) and baking powder to make soft dough.
  3. Take walnut sized pieces from the dough and shape them into round balls; place them on a tray and put a nut on top of each one.
  4. Bake cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees.
  5. After removing the cookies from the oven, wait for 3 minutes and then pour the syrup on top of the cookies. Let them absorb the syrup until you serve.
