Infused with the aromatic blend of za’atar, which typically includes thyme, oregano, marjoram, and sesame seeds, these cookies offer a perfect balance of savory and sweet. They are perfect for holiday gatherings or as a unique dessert option that introduces new flavors to traditional festivities.
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Unsalted butter | 1 cup (226 g) |
| Powdered sugar | 1/2 cup (60 g) |
| All-purpose flour | 2 cups (240 g) |
| Za’atar seasoning | 2 tablespoons |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Optional: Sesame seeds | For sprinkling |
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Ingredients: Gradually add the za’atar seasoning and salt to the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Mix until combined. Then, add the vanilla extract, mixing again until evenly distributed.
- Incorporate Flour: Slowly add the all-purpose flour to the wet mixture. Start mixing on low speed to prevent flour from flying out of the bowl. Once combined, you may switch to a spatula to guarantee everything is well incorporated, forming a soft dough.
- Shape the Cookies: Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving spacing of about 2 inches between each.
- Flatten the Cookies: Gently flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass or your palm, creating a disc shape. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers should remain soft but set.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy the za’atar shortbread cookies warm or at room temperature. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week, making them perfect for holiday sharing or enjoying throughout the season.

- Fold in Pistachios: Gently fold in the shelled pistachios into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. With floured hands, divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2-3 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.
- First Bake: Bake the logs in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden and slightly firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.

Spiced Za’atar Meringue Cookies are a delightful twist on traditional meringues, combining the light, airy texture of meringue with the unique, earthy flavors of za’atar seasoning. These cookies are perfect for holiday gatherings, offering an unexpected flavor that will intrigue and delight your guests. Their crisp texture paired with a subtle hint of spice makes for a charming addition to any dessert spread.
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Egg whites | 3 large |
| Granulated sugar | 3/4 cup (150 g) |
| Cream of tartar | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Za’atar seasoning | 1 teaspoon |
| Vanilla extract | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Salt | A pinch |
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 225°F (110°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Egg Whites: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and a pinch of salt. Verify no yolk or grease is present as it can inhibit the whipping process.
- Beat the Egg Whites: Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites on medium speed until they become frothy. Gradually add the cream of tartar to stabilize the meringue.
- Add Sugar Gradually: Once the egg whites are foamy, slowly add the granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time. Continue beating on high speed until the mixture forms stiff peaks and becomes glossy. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Incorporate Flavors: Gently fold in the za’atar seasoning and vanilla extract using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the egg whites; you want to maintain the lightness of the meringue.
- Pipe or Spoon the Meringue: Using a piping bag or two spoons, dollop or pipe small rounds of meringue onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each to allow for spreading.
- Bake the Meringues: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 1 to 1.5 hours. The meringues should be dry to the touch and easily lift off the parchment paper.
- Cool the Meringues: Once baked, turn off the oven and crack the door slightly, allowing the meringues to cool inside for another hour. This will help them firm up and maintain their crisp texture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, serve your spiced za’atar meringue cookies immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to a week. Enjoy the unique flavors any time!
