Sekerpare | Eggless Turkish Soft Cookies in Sugar Syrup

Eggless Sekerpare from Turkey is my choice for S. These soft cookies are soaked Sugar Syrup. I was planning to make these on Friday, time simply passed and I finally ended up baking it only today.

I adapted these from Sandhya’s, however mine were not completely dry though, even after drying it for a while. I loved the taste though and I think I will be completely it myself.

Preheat the oven to 185C. Line a baking tray with parchment.
Divide the dough to 12 equal balls and flatten them slightly with your hands and place them on the baking tray.
If you wish to garnish, press an almond on top. Bake the cookies for about 25 minutes until they are slightly brown.
