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
- 1.5 cups finely ground walnuts
- 0.75 cups white sugar
- 4 large egg yolks , divided
- 1 tablespoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- 1 teaspoon water
- 0.5 cups walnut pieces for decoration
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

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.

Whisk together remaining egg yolk and water using a fork. Press a walnut piece into each cookie, then brush with egg yolk glaze.
