About the dish

Kleijeh souriyeh is a traditional cookie made from spiced dough and a spiced date filling. The dough is rolled out, and the filling is placed between the sheets of dough, then cut into desired shapes and decorated before being baked until golden. The pastry is sweetened with sugar and enriched with nigella and sesame seeds, creating a fragrant and flavorful treat. This pastry reflects the rich culinary heritage of Deir Ez-Zor, Al Hasakah, and Raqqa and is enjoyed on special occasions.
