In the next class we will be cooking Elmali Kurabiye (apple and walnut biscuits). Qurabiya (Kurabiye) is a shortbread-type biscuit, usually made with ground almonds. Versions are found in most countries of the Arab world, with various different forms and recipes. Kurabiye appears in the Ottoman cuisine in the 15th century. There is some debate about the origin of the words. Some give no other origin for the Turkish word kurabiye than Turkish, while others have given Arabic or Persian.
