- In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add powdered sugar; beat until light and fluffy. Add egg and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the orange peel; beat well.

MOROCCAN SPICE COOKIES
This is adapted from an old recipe of my mother's, which I believe was from a church cookbook. I was looking for a way to use the wonderful ras-el-hanout spice blend I had on hand and came up with this. I take them to my office holiday cookie swap every year and they're always a hit. Ras-el-hanout can be found at Middle Eastern grocery stories, but I recommend the blend sold by The Spice House (www.thespicehouse.com).

CHOCOLATE-CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES WITH RAS EL HANOUT
Everyone loves a good oatmeal cookie - and this one will take you straight to Morocco. Ras el hanout is a common Moroccan spice blend and translates to "top of the shop" in Moroccan Arabic, which suggests that the spices selected were the finest available in the merchant's shop at the moment. The fragrant and warming spices of ras el hanout pair beautifully with the sweetness of the oatmeal cookie and the sharpness of the dark chocolate. Because of the spice mixture, these cookies won't appear to brown much, so be careful not to overbake. You can use your favorite store-bought ras el hanout for your cookies or make your own blend (see tip).

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the sugar, butter, egg and vanilla in a large bowl, and use a handheld electric whisk or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to mix all ingredients until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the oats, flour, ras el hanout, baking soda and salt; mix on a low speed until everything is just incorporated, about 30 seconds. Use a spatula to fold in the chocolate.
- Scoop the dough in single heaping tablespoonfuls and transfer them to the lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each piece.
- Bake until the edges are light golden brown and the center of each cookie is a bit soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.

MOROCCAN SEMOLINA AND ALMOND COOKIES
Semolina flour gives these rather plain-looking but delicious cookies, adapted from "Dorie's Cookies" by Dorie Greenspan, a delightfully sandy texture. Almond flour makes them moist and rich, adding a gentle flavor and scent. If you don't have almond flour, make your own by pulsing blanched almond slices in a food processor until they're finely ground. Just don't over-process, or you'll wind up with almond butter. And if you're not a fan of orange blossom water, you can leave it out, or substitute rose water.

Steps:
- Position racks to divide the oven into thirds, and heat it to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together semolina, almond flour, baking powder and salt.
- Put sugar in bowl of a stand mixer fit with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl in which you can use a hand mixer. Finely grate lemon zest over sugar, then rub them together with your fingertips until sugar is moist and fragrant. Add eggs and beat on medium speed for 3 minutes. With mixer running, pour oil down side of the bowl and beat for another 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla and orange blossom water, if using. Turn off mixer, add half the dry ingredients and mix them in on low speed, then add the rest, mixing only until dry ingredients disappear into the dough, which will be thick.
- Sift some confectioners' sugar into a small bowl. For each cookie, spoon out a level tablespoon of dough, roll it between your palms to form a ball and dredge in sugar. Place balls 2 inches apart on the lined baking sheets, then use your thumb to push down the center of each cookie, pressing firmly enough to make an indentation and to cause the edges to crack.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, rotating pans top to bottom and front to back after 8 minutes, or until cookies are ever so lightly colored: They will be golden on the bottom, puffed, dramatically cracked and just firm to the touch. Carefully lift the cookies off sheets and onto racks. Cookies will keep for about 4 days in a covered container at room temperature.
