A recipe for soft yeast dough cookies filled with date paste and cinnamon, baked until golden and crisp, is being shared by Noam Zigdon, a cooking and baking instructor who also offers recipes and tips on her Instagram page. The recipe itself is credited to her sister-in-law, Yaffa Zigdon.
The preparation involves mixing ingredients including 1 kg of flour, 1.5 cups of sugar, baking powder, yeast, vanilla extract, eggs, margarine or butter, water, and orange blossom water. The dough is chilled for 30 minutes, then divided into eight portions. Each portion is rolled thin, spread with date paste and cinnamon, and optionally sprinkled with chopped nuts. The dough is then rolled into a log, sliced into cookies, placed on a baking sheet, brushed with egg wash, and topped with sesame seeds.
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit) until golden brown. Zigdon, who runs cooking and baking workshops and shares culinary secrets on Instagram, invites followers to try the recipe. Those who share their results and photos may be selected for a chance to win a dinner for two at the upscale "Myoka" restaurant in Jerusalem, a gift from Channel 7's food section.
