[@hunsakermountain]

We just returned from a 2 week vacation in Morocco. We loved every moment and every taste! I am so glad to find your channel. Shokran!

[@cookingwithalia]

+hunsakermountain so glad you had fun in Morocco!

[@nadiahenna9947]

I made this today as I didn’t bake cookies for Eid . It’s so cute n small n so comforting !! Love the way you explained the recipe .

[@melissarey2973]

I love your scarf! And this recipe looks delicious. Thank you for sharing.

[@cookingwithalia]

yes.

[@cookingwithalia]

olive oil has a smell and strong taste - so it will affect the taste the cookie. However, if you are used to it and you like it, you can certainly do it. for the jam - you can certainly try it. it's a great idea! :-)

[@AriyeleRessler]

i'm going to try this recipe with all natural coconut sugar (instead of the confectioner's) and coconut oil (instead of vegetable)--that way it makes them much healthier! thanks alia for the inspiration.

[@MurasakiVampire]

This is so nice reciepe! I like so much semoulina in cookies, but I only know basbousa, which I learned it also from you. It became one of my favourite and I make it often. I think this coconut ghriba looks so easy to make and delicious.Thank you!

[@cookingwithalia]

yes, it should be fine (freeze it after you bake it).

[@mattb9003]

You are awesome, thank you for sharing your great recipes and happy attitude to cooking!

[@goldwaves]

Thanks guys, I followed Alia's advise and called an Indian grocery store and they told me they do carry it. So, I might drop by today to pick up some.

[@siriqbal]

Hi Alia, love the recipe, I am definitely going to try it for Eid! One question, should I use coarse or fine semolina for these cookies? Thanks!

tanhma9 aliha :) thanks alia

[@JuanC1965]

Hi Alia, thanks for sharing this recipe. I made it a couple days ago. Amazing cookies. What is the best way to store them and how long will they last? Please let me know.

[@estee0125]

can I use coconut flour instead? and how much of almond flour will I need to replace the flour

[@cookingwithalia]

fine semolina

[@BubsLlama]

Are we able to replace the oil with Extra Virgin Olive Oil or do you think that will ruin the taste of the cookies? :-) I often bake with olive oil as it is healthier and the flavour of the oil bakes away and is subtle. Do you think it will be okay for this cookie? :D Also, I was thinking, maybe I could press in the middle and fill with a little jam; what do you think? :-) I haven't baked these yet but the jam could add sweetness hoho cheers Alia, I love your cooking.

I already made it, just look for "Alia's Tips: How to Make Moroccan Mint Tea!" in youtube.

[@lebaneseprince25]

@MsGemini80 hey water distilled from orange blossoms and has a flower smell which gives food a distinctive flavor

[@easycare11]

Can you pls make a video for a real, authentic Moroccan mint tea pls

[@profamal]

Alia, thank you for this recipe. I am going to try this tonight. Can you tell me if I can deepfreez the ghribas ?

[@adrianna1289]

Is there a way of making orange blossom water? I don’t think I can get it in a shop in England.

[@MadameMarmita]

Hi Alia, Can I substitute vanilla extract with vanilla sugar? Thanks for the recipe xoxo

[@goldwaves]

Alia, are you able to find unsweetened coconut at local stores? I have looked at a few grocery stores and they only carry the dry sweetened flakes.

[@EricRJR]

I got your app totally amazing. thank you..i passed it around..hey how did you get an app ?

[@kaydee3195]

Is almond flour optional as well? Or gf flour?

[@swapnakulkarni5656]

[@Videosifyable]

just put them in an air tight container. you can place them in the fridge or just on your kitchen counter.

[@fatlmaelmouchtarl650]

Assalamualaikum Alia, can i use fresh grated coconut? Because it's hard to find dried grated coconut in my place... thank you :-)

[@cookingwithalia]

I never tried it with fresh coconut. I guess it should work but would have a different taste.
