Mamool or Ma'amoul is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert that is commonly served during festive occasions like Ramadan or Eid. The dessert is made by combining a semolina dough with a mixture of ground walnuts, sugar, and rose water filling. The dough is then shaped into small balls and baked until golden. The finished product is a delightful pastry that is crisp on the outside, but soft and crumbly on the inside. Mamool or Ma'amoul is often enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee and is a popular treat for those with a sweet tooth.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.	In a large bowl, mix together the semolina flour, shortening, and boiling water until well combined.
3.	In a separate bowl, mix together the white sugar, ground walnuts, and rose water.
4.	Take a small ball of the dough and flatten it in the palm of your hand.
5.	Place a teaspoon of the walnut mixture in the center of the dough and pinch the edges to seal it, shaping it into a small ball.
6.	Place the balls on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden.
7.	Optional: Dust with confectioners' sugar once cooled.
