Ingredients
- 1 cup (227 g) Unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) Sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cup (250 g) All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Ground ginger (optional)
- ½ tsp Ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp Nutmeg freshly grated
- 1 cup (235 g) Halva grated (with or without nuts)
- ½ cup (70 g) Chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, or a combination)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Using an electric mixer on medium speed should take about 3-4 minutes. Add the egg and beat until well combined. This will help to bind the ingredients together and add moisture to the dough. Add the vanilla extract and combine.1 cup Unsalted butter , 1 cup Sugar, 1 large Egg, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg until well combined.2 cup All-purpose flour, 1 tsp Baking powder, ¼ tsp Salt, 1 tsp Ground ginger, ½ tsp Ground cinnamon , ¼ tsp Nutmeg
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the crumbled halva and chopped nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.1 cup Halva, ½ cup Chopped nuts
- Shape the Cookies: Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each dough ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve: Enjoy your Halva Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
