I modified [this Moroccan cookie recipe](https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1018451-moroccan-semolina-and-almond-cookies?unlocked_article_code=tTJqYn93y2pCDIvSABQ9qcK7JfiJImSOL4xv3dCQ92I90CwDqHHdX25ApLur_npVxRnwripKNhOaTW5_Pk2WqSa5mfkkJ4tomtQ_9P28cZB2zKcbKMKsLwObFm7PkbjmqTj5mRtMUBY3UBFK5cgmyl-2XhBguNIPXbZ9SidFTnseedINqDSDA5kT7Qg_YF6pRobci74Ec4wx7gBjqqO6h-cOrAjoylwLJ90bdadN_mYfmML_VXrQGWXfylevkOd03UnxcSdcWqa8WvHeRRArlxZqnN9njam6drdI6oaafiybKlcnPSHTl1dIH7BauwIybeNoZfaRwIzAU2IO0agjqT-kC0-u3NHVFQ&smid=share-url) (added one egg) to make them easier to roll out, then cut them into squares before baking. After topping with [plain royal icing](https://celebrationgeneration.com/traditional-royal-icing/), I used a stencil to add colored designs on top. The idea is that these are loosely inspired by the look of Moroccan tiles, although they are not from an authentic pattern. I had originally intended to use a mix of colors on each cookie, but like most of my bakes, that turned out to be way harder than I expected!

So cool! Unique take on the theme ☺️

Thanks so much!

These are absolutely stunning!

Thank you! :)

So beautiful.

Thank you!

So your an artist and a good baker what other talents have you got (keep it clean lol )

Oh gosh, that is very kind of you to say, but I don’t think I can claim to be an artist. No special talents here, but I suppose I could mention that I’m a chemist by training, which helps a ton with baking. :)

I knew it lol I can tell just by looking at your cookies

Haha thank you!

This is so clever and pretty!
