Ballokume is an Albanian cookie that originated in the city of Elbasan and is now popular throughout Albania and in Albanian communities abroad. It is traditionally eaten on Dita e Verës, an Albanian pagan spring holiday celebrated on 14 March, and is made from butter, sugar, eggs and corn flour, sometimes with finj, ash from a wood stove boiled in water. The dough is traditionally kneaded vigorously in a copper bowl, a task often taken on by the men of the household.
