Fekkas (Moroccan almond biscuits) - Certified Thermomix person

Moroccan recipes are mainly based on flour and an ancestral know-how that makes it hard to get great results after a first try, especially if one wants to try a gluten-free version. Well, this is my first try with this recipe, I wanted to taste those delicious biscuits and I can say the result is not bad! I may need to alter the recipe, but the taste was that of those delicious treats that remind me of childhood and family gatherings.
