Vanilla Ghriba Bahla (Moroccan Vanilla Shortbread or Cookies) / Ghirba au vanille (Sablé Marocain à la vanille )

 One of my favourite ingredients in my kitchen is fresh vanilla beans, but unfortunately they are not cheap, they come second after saffron on the list of the most costly spices. For Eid Adha, I made these special ghribas which turned out great and even one of the most delicious ghriba I've ever made!  These  beauties were just out-of-this-world and absolutely delicious!

For this Bahla, I didn't add any nuts or seeds, I used plain flour (about 1 kg), 2 fresh vanilla pods, oil, oudy or oudi, butter, sugar (half vanilla and half caster sugar), pinch of salt and gum arabic (Maska Horra).  I also sprinkled some sugar on top of the ghribas before putting them in the oven.
