These Sweet Pita Cookies are a Middle Eastern delicacy that are perfect as a sweet snack or dessert. They are a fun and unique alternative to traditional cookies and provide a crunchy texture and full sweet flavor. The atir syrup used in this recipe is a traditional Middle Eastern topping that is derived from grape molasses. It is less sweet than traditional syrup and has a more complex flavor.

Instructions

1.	Preheat a pan with oil for deep frying.
2.	Cut the pita bread into small pieces and open each half to make the shape of a flat cookie.
3.	Fry the pita pieces in the hot oil until they turn golden brown on both sides.
4.	Once the cookies are done frying and still hot, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
5.	Drizzle the atir syrup on the cookies while they are still hot and serve.

PROS

HEALTH & BENEFITS

While these cookies are not particularly healthy, they are a fun and delicious treat to be enjoyed occasionally.
