Turkish Spice Cookies! You Will Be Surprised!

Spices are very important in Turkish Cuisine, especially in the eastern part of Turkey. And we use spices not only in main dishes but in cookies too. In this episode, I am making a similar version of the famous molded Turkish cookie "Kmbe". I used spices like allspice, cardamom, cinnamon, mahlep and mastic gum to flavor. Rather than adding only all-purpose flour, I am using ground almonds, coconut flakes, starch, and semolina.

Ingredients For Turkish Spice Cookies
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp sugar
1 egg
1 full tbsp butter
1/2 tsp Cloves
1/2 tsp Ginger
1/2 tsp Cardamom
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp All-spice
1/2 tsp Mahaleb (optional)
1/2 tsp Mastic Gum (optional)
1/3 almond flour
1/3 wheat starch
2 tbsp coconut flakes
2 tbsp semolina (optional for extra texture)
1+1/2 baking powder
1 cup + more all-purpose flour if needed
To coat 1 tsp each cinnamon and powdered sugar mixture (optional)
