Ingredients

 
Ingredients:
 
3 eggs
 
2 ½ cup of flour
 
1 cup of sugar
 
1 cup of raw almonds
 
½ cup of raisins
 
2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
 
1 stick of butter (8 Tbsp)
 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 
1 tablespoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

Directions

Steps:
1- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2- Coarsely chop the almonds with a sharp knife.

4- In a bowl, mix flour, cinnamon, and baking powder.
5- In another bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and vanilla extract.
6- Add to the eggs: the sugar, melted butter, chopped almonds, raisins, and sesame seeds.
7- Fold the flour mixture into the eggs mixture until you get a soft dough.

10- Line up parchment paper on a cookie pan.

13- Cool the logs to room temperature.
14- Slice the baked logs using a sharp bread knife.
15- Return the fekkas to the pan and bake for another 15 minutes (350 degrees).

This Mediterranean dessert seems to be very tempting! Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour for this fekkas...?
