Kömbe Cookie (Antakya Kömbesi)

Hello Dear Friends,

I decided to start the week with a delicious and long-lasting Kömbe cookie. I have been following the Kömbe cookie recipe for a long time. From Pınar's Kitchen Secrets blog. I've been thinking about preparing it for a long time, but I kept it waiting because what makes the kombe is the spice added to it.

In fact, there is no need to wait, and you can find it when you enter a herbalist you stop by or a shop selling local products. Those who cannot find it can easily prepare it at home.

For this, equal amounts of cinnamon, powdered cloves, allspice, nutmegYou can use it by mixing powdered ginger and mahlebi. Pınar also mentioned mastic gum among these ingredients, but it was not included in the Kömbe spice I bought.

Now, let's come to the mold, you can buy this local wooden mold when you go to Eminönü from the shops that sell cake materials.

As you can see in the video, the cookie dough has a very nice and soft consistency, you need to pay attention to the controlled addition of flour and kneading well. It is ready when it gets a non-sticky consistency.
