Ful sudani are traditional cookies originating from Sudan. These macaroons are usually made with a combination of egg whites, salt, sugar, vanilla, and peanuts. The peanuts are roasted, their skin is removed, and they're ground until grainy. Vanilla is mixed with the peanuts, egg whites, icing sugar, and salt.


Spoonfuls of the batter are placed on a baking sheet, and the cookies are baked until slightly puffy and lightly colored (not browned). It's recommended to serve them alongside some cinnamon tea for the best experience.
