Recipe Information
Syrian Barazek Cookies
Cultural Context
Originating from the Levant region, Barazek cookies are a beloved treat in Syrian culture, often enjoyed during festive occasions and gatherings. These cookies highlight the use of sesame seeds, symbolizing prosperity and health, and are a staple in Middle Eastern bakeries. Today, Barazek has found fans worldwide, with variations appearing in different cultures, showcasing the universal love for these nutty, sweet delights.
butter
🥗Healthier: coconut oil
💰Cheaper: margarine
Coconut oil provides a dairy-free option and margarine is often less expensive.
sugar
🥗Healthier: honey
💰Cheaper: brown sugar
Honey adds natural sweetness while brown sugar can be more affordable.
eggs
🥗Healthier: flaxseed meal
💰Cheaper: egg substitute
Flaxseed meal is a vegan alternative and often cheaper than eggs.
vanilla extract
🥗Healthier: vanilla bean
💰Cheaper: vanilla essence
Vanilla bean enhances flavor naturally while essence is more economical.
Cream butter until light and fluffy. Then add the sugar and mix well.
Mix in the egg, vanilla essence, vinegar and salt until well incorporated.
Add the flour and baking powder and combine well using a beater or wooden spoon.
Cover and let it rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Make big or small balls according to your preference. I like mine big and crunchy.
Flatten the dough to about ¼ inch thick. The thinner the cookie is, the crunchier it will be.
Press one side of the dough into a bowl with the sesame seeds and the other with chopped pistachios.
Bake in a 350F preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
Let it cool for 5 mins on the cookie sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
