Finikia (Semolina Honey Cookie)
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 5 hrs (2007-10-02 17:27:50 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
Here is the Greek recipe for Finikia. Hareesa is a Greek desert by the way and not Syrian.
* 1 C. butter
* 3 C. flour
* 1/3 C. frozen orange juice concentrate
* 1 C. sugar
* 1/2 C. water
* 1 t. cinnamon 4 oz. honey
* 2 t. baking powder ground walnuts
* 1/2 t. baking soda
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the first six ingredients in order given, adding enough sifted flour to make a medium dough that does not stick to hands. Knead slightly. Pinch off pieces of dough the size of a large walnut and form into flat oval shapes with tapered ends. Bake for 25 minutes. While the cookies are baking, make a syrup by boiling together the sugar, water, and honey. Boil to make a medium syrup, about 5 minutes. When the cookies are cool, dip them quickly into the warm syrup and sprinkle with ground walnuts mixed with cinnamon.

I apologize for continuing to add notes. Just for the record Finikia would be more familiar to a target speaker than any other translation provided above. In the US and the UK the boxed supermarket version is called Finikia too.

Well, the Greek civilization is older plus I need your proof that it is Syrian :) It would be interesting to see the history of Finikia.

and by the way, Finikia comes from the name Phoenician which leads us back to Syria.
