These rose-scented Persian cookies are delicately spiced. They’re the perfect treat for Passover since they contain no flour. They are nutty, rich, and slightly chewy with a crunchy exterior.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups finely ground walnuts
- ¾ cup white sugar
- 4 large egg yolks, divided
- 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- 1 teaspoon water
- ½ cup walnut pieces for decoration
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
Mix together ground walnuts, sugar, 3 egg yolks, cardamom, baking soda, and rose water in a medium bowl until well blended. Roll teaspoon-sized pieces of dough into balls and place 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.
Step 3
Whisk together remaining egg yolk and water using a fork. Press a walnut piece into each cookie, then brush with egg yolk glaze.
Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 20 minutes. The cookies will appear soft and undercooked but they will harden considerably when cooled.
Step 5
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheets for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
Pistachios or almonds can be used instead of walnuts.
