    Plate of Buttery Egyptian Cookies Egyptian Ghorayebah or Ghreybeh Cookies - 3 ingredients and very easy to put together. These cookies have a rich buttery taste and a shortbread like texture.

    For this month's Food of the World event, we are going to Egypt. I have a ton of vegetarian Egyptian recipes bookmarked that I wanted to try for today. But then I ended up making these easy-to-make 3-ingredient cookies, Egyptian Ghorayebah or Ghreybeh.

    Easy Egyptian Cookies - Ghorayebah:

    I met some of my blog buddies last month and I was wondering what to take for them. Then I googled for Egyptian cookies and these Ghorayabeh or Ghreybeh came up. This Recipe from Suma's Veggie Platter.

    3 Ingredient Cookie recipe:

    Like I said the recipe only has 3 ingredients and is very easy to put together with ingredients straight from the pantry. Some of the recipes had cardamom, but I kept it plain. If you want add a little ground cardamom or vanilla to flavor the cookies.

    Buttery & Delicious Cookies:

    These Egyptian cookies are almost like our Indian nankhatai with a crumbly, melt-in-your mouth texture. They are very rich and buttery with the use of melted ghee (clarified butter).

    Traditionally they are made in a ring shape with a whole pistachio placed on the seam. But I took the easy way out and made them into regular round cookies. These are great to make during holidays and are perfect as edible gifts.Plate of cookies made with 3 ingredients
