Baraka Barazek are traditional Syrian sesame and pistachio cookies featuring a delightfully crispy texture with chewy centers. These Middle Eastern cookies are made from butter, flour, sugar, milk, and aromatic spices including vanilla and mahleb, a distinctive spice made from ground cherry stones.

Each cookie is coated with a dense layer of roasted sesame seeds on one side while the opposite side is studded with chopped pistachios, creating a beautiful golden-brown appearance. The cookies are brushed with honey syrup during preparation, giving them a subtle sweetness that balances the nutty flavors without being overly sweet. Perfect for snacking, breakfast, or serving with coffee and tea.
