Dough Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fine semolina flour, all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Gradually pour in the melted butter or ghee and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in the sugar until evenly distributed.
Forming the Dough
- Incorporate warm milk and vanilla extract into the flour mixture, stirring until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
Prepping for Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the rested dough into 1-tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the lined sheets, gently flattening each ball.
Adding Toppings
- Press sliced almonds into the top of each flattened cookie, ensuring they stick well, and space the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Baking the Cookies
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges turn golden brown and the centers remain firm yet tender.
- Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
Preparing the Syrup
- Combine honey, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently while simmering for about 5 minutes until thickened.
Glazing the Cookies
- Drizzle the warm syrup generously over cooled cookies and allow at least 30 minutes for it to soak in.
