Knafeh...kunafeh...kunafa...however you like to spell it, it is one of the best Arab desserts, with it's crispy, fragrant, syrupy, buttery outer crust and creamy, salty, stretchy cheese filling. If you've never tried it, YOU MUST! But if you're looking for a less traditional take, look no further than this recipe. Honestly, I think it's the best cookie I've ever made! I hope you love it :) Tell your friends, and tell ME what you think in the comments section.
