Moroccan Almond Cookies - Ghriba

Cultural Context

Originating from Morocco, Ghriba are traditional almond cookies often enjoyed during festive occasions and celebrations. These delightful treats symbolize hospitality and are a staple in Moroccan households, especially during Ramadan. Their simple yet rich flavor profile, featuring almond and a hint of cinnamon, has led to their popularity beyond Morocco, with variations appearing in many North African and Middle Eastern cuisines.
