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.
