Bosnian Hurmašice
Syrup Cookies
Hurmašice are small, syrup-soaked cookies that are a staple in Bosnian dessert traditions. They have a tender, cake-like crumb and are infused with a sweet, lemony syrup, often with a hint of orange zest. Typically shaped with ridges from a grater, they are perfect with Bosnian coffee.

👨🍳 Fremgangsmåte
- 1
Prepare the syrup: In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, lemon peel (if using), and vanilla extract for the syrup. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 35 minutes until thickened. Remove lemon peel and stir in fresh lemon juice. Let cool completely.

Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, oil, yogurt, eggs, sugar, and lemon zest until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine semolina, flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. It should be slightly tacky but manageable. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- 4
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 5
Scoop about a tablespoon of dough (around 35-40g). Roll it into a short log (6-7 cm long). Press gently onto a cheese grater or fork to create ridges. If using walnuts, press about half a teaspoon into the center and seal the dough around it.

Place the shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet, about 2 cm apart. Bake for 20-28 minutes, or until deep golden brown.

While the cookies are still hot from the oven, pour the cooled syrup over them. Ensure they are mostly submerged. Let them soak for at least 30-60 minutes, turning once, until plump and glossy. Sprinkle with extra ground walnuts if desired.
💡 Profesjonelle tips
- ✓Ensure the syrup is completely cool before pouring it over the hot cookies. This prevents the cookies from becoming too mushy.
- ✓Bake until deeply golden brown for a better texture and to prevent the cookies from absorbing too much syrup and becoming soggy.
- ✓The ridges from the grater help the syrup penetrate the cookies.
