Gazelle ankles

Gazelle ankles, or kaab el ghazal, are crescent-shaped Maghrebi cookies made of flour-based dough filled with almond paste flavored with orange blossom water, sometimes made instead with a date paste filling. Core ingredients include almonds, orange blossom water, flour, sugar, butter and cinnamon. The pastry has a long history in North Africa, mentioned as far back as a 13th-century cookbook by Ibn Razin al-Tujibi, though that earlier version was shaped into rolls rather than crescents. It is especially popular during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, and a French adaptation known as cornes de gazelles is also found in France.
