Almond Crinkle Cookies (Montecaos / Ghribia)
As I was growing up, I always enjoyed the cookies my Grandmother “Mamie Odette” would bake. She used to make the best Ghribia (Almond Crinkles). Unfortunately, I never got the chance to write down her recipes before she passed.
I was so greatful when I tried the RECIPE from “C’est Maman Qui Cuisine”, because I felt I was eating the ones my Grandmother used to make. It brought so many nice memories back, they were so incredible to eat! I cannot wait for you to make them! They are Magical!
I hope your will Enjoy this Cookie Recipe as much as I did! Bon Appétit!

Almond Crinkle Cookies (Montecaos / Ghribia)
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups (500 g) all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup (70 g) almond flour
- 1 1/2 tsp (7 g) baking powder
- 1 1/4 cups (150 g) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (220 g) Vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp (30 g) Vegetable oil
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) Orange Blossom Water
- 1 tsp (5 g) ground cinnamon (To Sprinkle on Top)
Instructions
- Place the Large bonMAT™ on the top of your Large perforated baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 350F/180C.
ALMOND CRINKLE COOKIES
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder and powdered sugar. Make a well and add the vegetable oil, a splash at a time (Depending of the density of your flour and almond flour, you might need to get more or less oil in). Your dough is ready once you are able to leave an imprint in your dough, and it is holding nicely.
- Start rolling it into smaller balls between the palm of your hands. And place them directly onto your bonMAT™ spaced out.
- Sprinkle the ground cinnamon on top.
BAKE!
- Bake for 25 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your Crinkles from 20min). You will know your cookies are ready once you see the crack around and lightly golden.
- Once your Cinnamon Crinkles are out of the oven, let them completely cool down before handling them. Enjoy with a nice cup of Tea or Coffee! Bon appétit!

thank you very much, what an honor this dedication, I am touched and happy that you like the recipe. thank you
I feel incredibly lucky to have found your recipe, which was completely by chance and I am grateful that it brought so much back to me. Things I had completely forgotten. It is such a beautiful thing to have recipe travel especially nowadays when we don’t travel much any more. Thank you for your kindness and I cannot wait to try more of your recipes xo
Can we use butter in the recipe? If yes how much. Thanks
Hello Aisha, I think you could use the same amount with cooled melted butter. Personally, I have not done it so I am not sure if the result would be the same. Below the recipe, I have made a YouTube Video so you can see the texture better, I hope this should help you when you make yours. I love this recipe so much because it is super easy, does not require much equipment and tastes soooo good!
