Gazelle ankles (transliterated from Arabic: كعب الغزال kaʕbu lɣazaːl, also known in French as cornes de gazelle, "gazelle horns") are a traditional cookie of North Africa.[1][2][3][4] They are crescent-shaped cookies made of flour-based dough filled with almond paste aromatized with orange blossom water. Gazelle ankles are relatively pricey due to the use of almonds as an ingredient, and are therefore served as a delicacy at special events such as weddings and baby showers, often with tea.
