Qurabiya
Qurabiya (pronunciation: /kʊˈrɑːbiːjə/; etymology: derived from the Arabic word qurabiyya) is a type of almond cookie that originated in the Middle Eastern region. It is a popular sweet treat in many countries, particularly during festive occasions.
History
The exact origins of Qurabiya are not known, but it is believed to have been developed during the Abbasid period in the Middle East. The cookie is traditionally made with almonds, sugar, and egg whites, although variations exist in different regions.
Variations
Different countries have their own versions of Qurabiya. In Iran, it is known as Koloocheh, and is often filled with date or fig paste. In Spain, a similar cookie called Polvorón is popular during the Christmas season. The Turkish version, Acıbadem kurabiyesi, is made with ground almonds, sugar, and egg whites.
Preparation
The preparation of Qurabiya involves mixing ground almonds with sugar and egg whites to form a dough. The dough is then shaped into small rounds or crescents and baked until golden. Some variations may include additional ingredients such as rose water, vanilla, or spices.
