Qashat al-Narjeel (Omani Coconut Cookies)

The recipe for these crumbly coconut confections, p​opular throughout the ​Arabian Gulf,​​ ​comes from Felicia Campbell's upcoming book The Food of Oman (Andrews McMeel, 2015)​. A simple combination of sugar syrup and unsweetened coconut cools and hardens into sweet, crunchy treats that are perfect served alongside tea or coffee.
