Hi
I knew an Egyptian woman when I was a child & the little biscuits she made often have never left my memory….50 years ago! She would roll them in balls & lots of icing sugar & serve them in small paper cases like the cupcake ones. I have searched for years for the recipe & it just occurred to me to try searching for ‘Egyptian shortbread’
I’m hoping this is the recipe she used! ❤️

My grandma has mugs that she uses as 'cup' measures. I can never do it as effortlessly as she does because I am so type A! These look delicious 🙂

I would even consider adding a touch of rum to the mix instead. Sounds great.

I think the ghee makes them more tender, though I've never tried them with regular granulated sugar.

I've never heard of adding brandy but I could imagine that being terrific.
