In reply to Leslie Ray. Sounds great! So these are best stored at room temperature in a sealed container. They will keep a few days but gradually lose their crunch and become a bit more chewy, so it just depends what texture you prefer.

Am really looking forward to trying these as dessert with fesenjan main dish. How far ahead can these be made? How best to store them (assuming any leftovers, of course).

I have made these deliciously easy to fix, few ingredient, cookies three times as written. So good. My family loves them. I even bought quality walnuts to do the recipe justice last time. Now on our holiday cookie rotation. Many thanks.

In reply to Leonie. So glad to hear you enjoyed! I agree, they are a lovely flavor - sorry to hear about the tray, but I guess you know for next time.

A delicious recipe that was very quick and easy. The biscuits had a subtle, sophisticated flavour and felt somehow European to me. Make sure you do line the tray as the recipe says - I decided to risk it as I was using a non-stick tray, but as the egg makes the cookies very moist and gooey, they stuck and I ended up tearing the bottom off many of them. They still tasted wonderful though! I would certainly make them again.

In reply to Leila. So glad to hear you enjoyed, and a big honor to be Persian Dad approved! We really love these as well. Like the idea of a dash of rosewater (though it's one to be a little careful on as you can easily add too much).

I really loved this recipe! Super easy - I forgot the extra whisking and it still turned out delicious!! I added a little rose water which took out the egg taste and made it even better! Will be sending it to friends tomorrow 😊❤ Persian Dad approved 😁👍

Are you aware of any Persian cookies that have a liquor in them? I'm trying to find a recipe my father grew up with. Popular in the U.S. in the 50's or 60's maybe?

In reply to Yvette. Perfect, I hope these live up to what he remembers! So I used regular granulated sugar in the US, but I know in the UK the 'normal' granulated sugar is not that fine. You might need to look for fine sugar if the what you would normally have is not that fine to blend better, but I wouldn't suggest powdered sugar as you do still want a bit of texture. Hope you all enjoy!

Hi! I'm excited to try these cookies since my husband is Persian and he's been craving for some Persian sweets. Question though, do you use granulated white sugar or powdered sugar for this recipe? Thanks!

In reply to Colleen. Hmm, allergies are tough, but I'm sure you could use the same general base with other things.

These look great...I might need to try them without the nuts so that I don't kill poor Bob, but I think I could really do a lot with this simple recipe!
