Method
- Rub the butter (at room temperature) into the flour well until all the butter disappears and the flour looks like sand.
- Add the sweetened condensed milk and knead well until the dough comes together and becomes similar to ghraiba dough.
- Shape the dough into balls, fill the balls with the date filling, then place them in the molds used for shaping.
- Arrange the cookies on trays and bake them in a medium oven until the sides are golden, keeping an eye on them.
- Brown them slightly from the top.
- Let them cool to room temperature before serving.
