Method:

\r\n

Rub the semolina with the ghee and let it rest overnight or until the next day.
Grind the sugar with the mastic and mahleb until powdery, then add to the rest and mix.
Add water gradually and bring the dough together without kneading until cohesive.
Shape the dough into medium discs and fill with walnuts, dates, or pistachios as desired, then seal.
Place a thin sheet of plastic wrap on the Maamoul mold to prevent sticking.
Place the filled Maamoul on the plastic in the mold and press gently to take the mold’s shape.
Arrange the filled cookies on a parchment-lined tray and bake in a hot oven, first from the top to preserve the embossed patterns.
When the top colors slightly, switch to bottom heat at about 180°C for around 10 minutes or until cooked.
Dust with powdered sugar once cooled; do not serve hot as sugar will dissolve.
Serve the semolina Maamoul once cooled.
