What are Persian cookies?

I made the dough for molasses crinkles with GS late this afternoon.
We'll roll and bake them tomorrow. Xmas day will be celebrated with
new DIL's extended family (big family) - they do a cookie exchange
instead of gift giving.

They're a recipe that uses chickpea flour. I won't post the recipe I was
given because although they taste okay, they didn't come out like they were
supposed to. Not sure why. The dough was supposed to be very short if you
didn't use the egg yolk. Rather than being short, it was soft and sticky.

Thanks. What spices make them "Persian"? Just curious.

They have cardamom and rosewater. If you do a search for Persian chickpea
cookies, you'll see recipes.

Thanks. I used to be able to buy rosewater at the liquor store, but
haven't thought about it in years. Do people still buy it there?

My health food store sells it.

No. You're thinking of Rose's grenadine or lime juice. Not
likely to find rosewater in liquor store. Try a pharmacy or Middle
Eastern store.

I'm thinking about rosewater, it was next to the orange flower water.
He may have carried it because in those days there was a place called
Ramallah Hall on the same block. Thanks for the pharmacy idea. A
Middle Eastern store isn't as easy to find on this side of town.
