Kleicha Date Cookies

Kleicha Date Cookies are arguably Iraq’s most iconic baked good — a spiral or filled pastry cookie made from a lightly sweetened dough wrapped around a fragrant date and cardamom paste. The dough is buttery and tender with a slight flakiness, while the date filling inside is dense, caramel-sweet, and warmly spiced. Kleicha are to Iraq what shortbread is to Scotland — deeply cultural, endlessly nostalgic, and impossible to eat just one.

Traditionally made for Eid celebrations and given as gifts to family and neighbors, kleicha carry a significance that goes well beyond their ingredients. Made fresh at Al-Hamdani Sweets using authentic Iraqi recipes.
