Three round peanut cookies with crisscross tops on a white plate.

Ful Sudani

Sudan · Sub-Saharan Africa

Short description
This peanut macaroon folds chopped or ground peanuts into sweetened egg whites, then bakes them until crisp-edged and chewy.
Ingredients
Roasted peanuts, egg whites, icing sugar, salt, and vanilla baked into light cracked macaroon-style cookies.
Cultural note
The name can refer to peanuts in Arabic usage. That matters here: groundnuts are a major regional crop, and the cookie turns them into a light sweet often paired with tea.
Common misconception
Despite 'ful,' this is not fava-bean ful medames; in this cookie context, the name points to peanuts, not beans.
