These floral scented pastries are stuffed with a pistachio filling and dusted with powdered sweetener for a delicious and usual treat from the Middle East.

Ingredients
Dough
- pinch mastic powdered (buy powdered or grind in a mortar)
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit powdered
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons lupin flour or more almond flour
- 1/2 teaspoon mahleb ground
- 1/3 cup butter melted and cooled, or butter flavored coconut oil for dairy-free
- 1 teaspoon orange blossom water
- 1 teaspoon rose water
Pistachio Filling
- 1/2 cup pistachios or walnuts
- 3 tablespoons monk fruit powdered
- 1/2 teaspoon rosewater
- pinch of salt
- monk fruit powdered, for dusting baked cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine dough ingredients in a food processor. Run the processor until a dough ball comes together.
- Combine filling ingredients in a small blender. Pulse until smooth. You may need to add a half tablespoon of water to get it to come together. It will be somewhat smooth with larger pieces throughout and should be very soft and pliable but not runny.
- Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll into balls. Flatten each ball into a thin round sheet. Place about 2 teaspoons of filling into each flattened disc and carefully fold the sides up and over – the dough is crumbly and if it breaks, just press it back together. Ensure the filling is covered and then press into cookie presses. I used these.
- Place onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes at 400ºF, or until lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely before dusting with more powdered monk fruit.
