aka the Kleejeh cookie. It’s most commonly found in Eastern Syria and Iraq. It’s essentially a shortbread cookie typically rolled out into a rectangle and with a date paste filling sandwiched in between two layers of dough.
I’ve combined the flavors of kleejeh with the shape of the more commonly known maamoul cookie; made during celebrations and holidays. It’s a date (pistachio or walnut) filled cookie shaped by using a mold.
