The most delicate and subtle of baking spices, mahlab is the ground up stone of the St. Lucie's cherry, botanically related to almonds. It's used mostly in the Mediterranean, from Greece to Egypt, mostly in baked goods (though we have been known to sneak it into ice cream and savory sweet potatoes). It gives these cookies a unique warm note. It is truly not possible to describe the flavor of mahlab. Do not miss out on the unique experience of tasting mahlab for yourself.
