Here is the recipe for ghribias, or ghoribas, or motecaos, made with almonds and flavored with lemon zest. The recipe is very simple, and I recommend it for an afternoon snack or to celebrate a special occasion.

Yields10 Servings
Prep Time10 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time25 mins
Ingredients
 500 Ground almond
 150 Finely ground sugar
 5 Baking powder
 20 Melted butter
 1 Egg
 3 Egg yolk
 8 Orange blossom water
 1 Lemon (the zest)
 30 Blanched whole almond
 50 Icing sugar
Directions
1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (thermostat 6). Place all the ingredients except the whole almonds and powdered sugar into the mixer bowl. Blend.

2

Shape balls the size of a walnut. Roll them in powdered sugar. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Press a whole almond into each one.

3

Finally, let cook for 15 minutes while monitoring: the cookies should not brown. Let cool and wait a day (if you can!) before biting into them.
