They are called Shebakia or fried honey cakes. Moroccans eat them
during Ramadan. They are a pain in the neck to make too.

Here are the ingredients.

There's flour, butter, egg, fennel, sesame seeds and orange blossom
water, among other things.

Basically you dump all the ingredients into a mixer until you get a nice
dough.

You then roll the dough out and cut with either a cookie cutter your
mother in law gave you or you use a pasta cutter.

The next step is frying them. They then get dunked in warm honey and
sprinkled with sesame seeds

The DH says they are "not bad". They are not perfect I will agree. When
you bite into one there should be honey oozing out. Mine are a little
biscuity. Taste good though.
