Barazeq are delicately thin crispy cookies originated in Damascus, Syria. They are always made in small circular shapes with sesame seeds covering one side and pistachio slices visible on the other.
Barazeq are made with few ingredients which are flour, ghee, sugar, pistachios and sesame seeds for covering. If you find recipes that contain eggs, spices, milk powder, honey, I assure you that they are not original recipes and can’t be called Barazeq. I’m sharing a recipe that I learnt from a Damascene Pastry Chef and it is hundred percent authentic.

According to “Encyclopedia of Aleppo“: “Heitaliyeh is named after “Hittal” Turkish tribes inhabit Bukhara, Samarkand and Khujand. The merchants of Aleppo tοοk the name from these tripes, and these tripes took it from China. This is supported by the fact that the dessert is still present in Turkestan and India, and Aleppo is serving it in Chinese ceramic bowls and Chinese spoons. The other cities in Syria took this dessert from Aleppo. In Damascus, it is called “Heilatiyeh”.
