Frequently Asked Questions About Sour cherry mekik cookie
What is a sour cherry mekik cookie?
A sour cherry mekik cookie is a Turkish, small boat-shaped bake made with sour cherries. Recipes vary: some have a soft, cake-like crumb, while others are closer to a firm cookie.
How do you make sour cherry mekik cookies?
Sour cherry mekik cookies are made by folding sour cherries into a butter, egg, sugar, and flour batter, then baking it in small boat-shaped molds. Add the fruit gently at the end so it stays intact.
Why are sour cherry mekik cookies shaped like boats?
Sour cherry mekik cookies get their boat-like shape from the traditional mekik mold. “Mekik” means “shuttle” in Turkish, and the shallow, tapered mold gives each bake its distinctive outline.
Can you use frozen cherries in sour cherry mekik cookies?
Yes, frozen sour cherries work in sour cherry mekik cookies. Thaw them first and drain them very well; excess juice can make the batter runny and leave the baked centers too damp.
Why do the cherries sink in sour cherry mekik cookies?
Cherries usually sink in sour cherry mekik cookies when they are very wet or the batter is too loose to hold them. Drain and gently dry the fruit, then fold it in just before baking.
How should you store sour cherry mekik cookies?
Store sour cherry mekik cookies in an airtight container once they have cooled completely. Keep them away from heat and sunlight; the fruit can soften the crumb, so avoid leaving them uncovered.
Can you freeze sour cherry mekik cookies?
Yes, baked sour cherry mekik cookies can be frozen. Cool them completely, pack them in a sealed container with space between layers, and thaw at room temperature before serving.
Are sour cherry mekik cookies made with almonds?
Some sour cherry mekik cookie recipes include ground almonds, while others use flour alone. Almond adds a tender, fragrant crumb that pairs well with sour cherries; adjust the dry ingredients if changing the recipe.
What should you serve with sour cherry mekik cookies?
Sour cherry mekik cookies go well with black tea or coffee. Their tart fruit flavor also pairs nicely with plain yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream when served as a dessert.
Can you use dried sour cherries in sour cherry mekik cookies?
Yes, dried sour cherries can be used in sour cherry mekik cookies, but they make the result chewier and less juicy than fresh fruit. Chop large pieces so they are distributed evenly through the batter.

What is Sour cherry mekik cookie?
Sour cherry mekik cookie is a Turkish, cake-like cookie baked in the small, boat-shaped moulds that give mekik its name. Its batter is commonly made with flour, eggs, sugar and fat, with sour cherries adding a bright, tart note to the sweetness. It is found in home baking as well as in Turkish bakeries. Tender inside with lightly browned edges, it is often served with tea and shared at gatherings. Outside Turkey, it pairs just as naturally with coffee or an unsweetened drink. This is a sweet treat that provides more carbohydrate and fat than protein or fibre; one cookie alongside plain tea makes a modest snack, while the cherries’ tang helps keep each bite from tasting overly sweet.
