Makroudh (Arabic: مقروض, romanized: maqrūḍ), also spelled Makrout, is a cookie from the cuisine of the Maghreb. It is filled with dates and nuts or almond paste, that has a diamond shape – the name derives from this characteristic shape.
The dough is made with a combination of semolina and flour, which gives the pastry a very specific texture and flavor. Makroudh can be fried in oil or oven-baked.[1]
It is popular in the Maghreb where there are many varieties of Makroudh, some of which are pastries that do not share much in common with the traditional Makroudh except the shape.[2][3] In Algeria, they may be filled with almond paste.[4]
Makroudh with dates and honey is also popular during Eid al-Fitr.[5]
