Għadam tal-mejtin

Għadam tal-mejtin are traditional bone-shaped Maltese cookies. They consist of a shortcrust biscuit base and an almond filling. The cookies are traditionally prepared and enjoyed for All Souls day. The dough is usually made with a combination of flour, butter, sugar, egg yolks, lemon zest, and vanilla.


The filling is made with a combination of ground almonds, icing sugar, and egg whites. Once filled, the cookies are baked in the oven until golden, then topped with icing consisting of icing sugar, water, and almond extract. If stored in a cool and dry place, these bone-shaped cookies can keep for up to a month.
