Traditonal Tunisian cookie sparkled with almonds.
Tunisian sablé is a traditional shortbread cookie known for its delicate, crumbly texture and buttery flavor. These cookies are typically made with a simple dough consisting of flour, butter, sugar, and sometimes flavored with rose or orange blossom water. They are often shaped into small disks or fingers and may be decorated with a dusting of powdered sugar or a light glaze. Tunisian sablés are characterized by their melt-in-the-mouth quality and are commonly enjoyed during special occasions, holidays, and as everyday treats. Their rich aroma and tender consistency make them a beloved part of Tunisian cuisine and pastry traditions.
