Grandma Lankry’s Moroccan Cookies (Garifa)
Best cookies of LIFE! This recipe is from one of the best Moroccan Cooks I know, and my adoptive Grandma. I adopted her, she didn’t really sign off on it LOL.
My best friend, Margalit Lankry, lent me her Mother in Law to bring you one of our favorite cookie recipes of all time. Not only are they super easy to make, they are incredibly delicious. A hint of sweetness in a shortbread like cookie, with all the savoriness. It’s an incredible bite to have with your tea or coffee.
Hopefully, Margalit and I can bring you more recipes from Grandma Zahava very soon!
