Masaris is a term used in Saudi Arabia to describe a type of traditional Omani cookie. These cookies are often associated with the region of Al-Ahsa, known for its rich cultural heritage and traditions. Masaris are flat, often circular in shape, and resemble shortbread. They are typically made with a blend of flour, semolina, and sugar, and are sometimes decorated with a variety of toppings such as chopped nuts, seeds, or decorations made from sugar and cardamom.
