I<\/span> was almost convinced that my oven or stand-mixer is cursed.<\/p>\n

Until I baked this cookies. It changed my life.<\/p>\n

Forever.<\/p>\n

I’ve since forgiven and forgotten – and believe it or not, I am not holding any grudges.<\/p>\n

Well, at least until the next mishaps.\u00a0Just keeping it real, honest and practical here, people.<\/p>\n

Growing up, me and my Mom would bake tons of cookies. And one of my favorite was semolina cookies. It’s buttery, crumbly and oh so good.<\/p>\n

Semolina gives somewhat a crisp texture to a cookie. Not denying the fact that gob-load of butter has something to do with the texture as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A twist to this recipe was adding dates. It is naturally sweet and goes very well with this cookie. Just ignore the specks of semolina on the dates, visible from the above photo.<\/p>\n

There was an incident of spilling a cup full of semolina flour on the kitchen counter. Let’s ignore that, shall we?<\/p>\n

I almost cried and refuse to clean my damned<\/em> kitchen. But you can do me a favor and try this recipe.<\/p>\n
