How is Tarsus mamul different from other ma'amoul?

What is Tarsus mamul made of?
Tarsus mamul is made from a dough typically based on semolina, flour, and fat, with a walnut filling. Exact ingredients vary by recipe, so the cookie’s texture and seasoning may differ from one baker’s version to another.
How do you make Tarsus mamul at home?
To make Tarsus mamul, prepare and knead a semolina-based dough, enclose walnut filling in small portions, then mold and bake the cookies. Seal the dough well around the filling so it does not leak during baking.
Does Tarsus mamul contain dates?
Traditional Tarsus mamul is commonly filled with walnuts rather than dates. Some home or bakery recipes may vary, so a date-filled version is possible, but it is not the defining filling associated with the Tarsus style.
Why is Tarsus mamul made in a mold?
A mold gives Tarsus mamul its familiar patterned shape and helps enclose the walnut filling evenly. If you do not have a traditional mold, shape each cookie by hand and lightly mark the top with a fork.

How should Tarsus mamul be served?
Serve Tarsus mamul at room temperature, on its own or alongside Turkish tea or coffee. Its sweet walnut filling makes it a popular treat to offer guests, and small pieces work well after a meal.
How should you store Tarsus mamul?
Once completely cool, store Tarsus mamul in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keep it away from moisture and direct heat, which can soften the cookie and change the texture of its semolina dough.
Can you freeze Tarsus mamul?
