Nazook, Buttery Armenian Streusel-Stuffed Pastries
This is my grandmother Nina’s recipe and yields about 4 dozen cookies, which seems like a lot, til you taste one, then it won’t be enough!
Albanian Date Cookies
This recipe is from week four of my food blog, “Travel by Stove.” I am attempting to cook one meal from every country on Earth, and Albania is my fourth stop. These little cookies are not very sweet, but they are delicious. The date on top is more than enough to make up for what the dough lacks in sugar.

Algerian Helouwa Ta’aba (Lemon or Sesame Cookies)
Helouwa Ta’aba are very traditional, lovely simple cookies from Algeria. They should be quite hard, but if you prefer them a little softer then take them out of the oven at 20 minutes. There are 2 versions of this recipe, one flavoured with lemon & the other is plain but topped with sesame seeds. Both versions are below. This particluar recipe is our family recipe & is DH’s all time favourite helouwa as it is not too sweet (so he can eat more lol!)
Traditional Algerian Sables (Cookies) – Like Linzer Augen
This is my own family recipe for the traditional Algerian ‘Sables’ cookies. These sables are very easy to make & are a real favourite in our home. We like them with strawberry jam filling & icing sugar dusting or with apricot jam filing & dessicated coconut finish… but you can use any of your favourite preserves (if they have fruit pieces in you should sieve them before using. I have a special 4cm fluted sables cutter but you can use any cutters. I oftern use star cutters then punch out the small round centre by using a small metal bottle top (like on food colourings), or round cutter & using a small star, heart or flower cutter for the centre. These sables freeze nicely in layers separated by parchment or waxed paper in an airtight container. Allow to defrost in a single layer then dust the tops & fill with jam.
