If I had to think about a staple holiday cookie that reminds me of home, then ghraybeh is quite literally the first thing that jumps to my mind, and specifically date filled graybeh; yes ghraybeh, the Lebanese shortbread cookies with an interior date mixture. Eventually, ghraybeh comes in different forms and shapes. <br />The key to making a good ghraybeh is to use clarified butter instead of butter. Clarified butter has no milk solids, which makes it great for almost all Middle Eastern sweets – it can bare higher cooking temperature without burning.
