The Chebakia (Arabic: شباكية) is a pastry of Moroccan origin[1] made of strips of dough rolled to resemble a rose, deep-fried until golden, then coated with a syrup made of honey and rosewater and sprinkled with sesame.

Halwa Chebakia (sometimes spelled chebbakia or shebakia) is a Moroccan sesame cookie which is shaped into a flower, fried and then coated with honey. Also known as mkharka, it’s usually served during Ramadan and for special occasions.

Chebakia is time-consuming to make. Most Moroccan women enlist the help of a sister, mother or friend for the preparation of a large quantity.

This is my sister-in-law’s recipe. I’ve reduced her normal quantities by half to make the batch more manageable for those that cooking alone.
