Hello everybody.

Saw this elegant delicacies recipe on Facebook that triggered me to try them immediately ,specially that I have all ingredients, after i published the photos on my page many members told me that these are Algerian cookies named “tear drops” maybe cause of its shape.

They’re simply a special dough filled with almonds, shaped like a tear drop using a long fork then shaped like a tear drop, baked then drizzled with syrup while still hot.

First three or four pieces were not good looking but then i figured the correct way , not difficult at all.

Ingredients and method:

for the dough:

• 150 gm butter.
• 1 tablespoon semolina.
• 1 tablespoon yogurt
• 1 tablespoon coconut.
• 2 tablespoons icing sugar.
• 1 tablespoon baking powder.
• 1 tsp vanilla .
• 2 eggs
• 2- 21/2 cups flour.
• 1 cup crushed almonds with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• sugar syrup.

• Beat eggs with vanilla .
• add butter then all dry ingredients .
• add flour gradually and knead well till you get a soft dough.
• 
• shape dough into small size balls.
• spread dough over a wide fork then fill with almonds and close.
• 
• remove dough and twist to close ends.
• you can put an almond in the middle.
• 
• bake in a medium heated oven for 20-30 minutes or till golden.
• while still hot drizzle syrup on them.
• 

You can add crushed pistachios on ends if you like.
