Ingredients

227 grams butter

1 cup flour, all purpose

2 cups semolina

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking power

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 Tablespoons rose flower water

1 tablespoon orange flower water

7 tablespoons water

Date filling:

1 1/2 cups chopped dates

6 tablespoons butter

Cook dates with butter over low heat for 15-20 minutes. Mash

occasionally until dates are completely pureed. Cool before filling.

Date filling is traditionally used with a flat maamoul mold, rather

than the rounded variety.

Directions

Melt butter and cool slightly.

Mix flour, semolina, salt, baking powder and sugar together.

Rub melted butter into dough with fingertips until it is like fine soft meal. Cover bowl and let it rest overnight.

Combine flower waters with 7 tablespoons water and

sprinkle over the dough. Toss lightly with a fork to distribute

liquid evenly. Mix until just combined, like pie dough.Knead 12 -15 times.

Dust maamoul molds well with flour. Invert and tap gently to remove excess flour. Estimate the amount of dough need to fill maamoul mold and make a ball of dough.

Flatten it out slightly and place a good tablespoon of filling in

center. Close dough around filling to cover it. Pack ball into

mold. Level off cookie even with the lip of the mold. Be sure you

have not revealed filling or it will stick to the pan as it bakes.

Tap cookies out onto the work area with a sharp firm hit to the

top of the mold. Transfer cookies to baking sheet with a spatula.

Bake at 300 to 325deg F about 12 minutes, until barely colored.

Cool.

This one will be for my hubby. He loves dates. I do not have a proper forming device but I am certain I can get around that obstacle. Thank you once more Ahmed!!!
