Ghorayebah (Butter Biscuits for Eid) image

This is a seasonal Sudanese cookie usually used for Eid celebrations. As I moved away, I took what reminded me of my home and family. You are surely free to bake them at any time of the year. This recipe was handed down to me by my mother.

These cookies were a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter.

I had a hard time getting the cookies to hold their shape. They spread out too much in the oven.
