- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly flour an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Place oil and sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Gradually add in the flour, a c. at a time, and knead well. Blend in the nuts.
- When the dough feels mooth, use the palm of your hand to roll it into balls the size of an egg. Pat into a round cookie about 2- inches in diameter. The cookies shouldn't be flat.
- Place on the cookie sheet and sprinkle the center of each cookie with cinnamon. Bake for 25 to 30 min. Don't let the cookies become even slightly brown; they must remain off-white.
- A Turkish variation uses cocoa instead of cinnamon and is sprinkled with powdered sugar. These cookies can also be shaped into crescents.
- NOTE: On Purim morning, Moroccan Jews decorate their tables with flowers and sweet delicacies such as ghouribi. Children especially enjoy making thes treats as they can roll the dough with their hands.
