Nokhodchi Chickpea Cookie

Nokhodchi Chickpea Cookie

Chickpea Flour (Besan): This is the star ingredient! Chickpea flour adds a delightful nuttiness and makes these cookies gluten-free (yay!). It also contains a good amount of protein and fiber.

Powdered Sugar: We’re using powdered sugar for that smooth sweetness that dissolves beautifully into our dough. It keeps the cookies tender, too!

Unsalted Butter: You can go old-school by using ghee for an authentic flavor, but I often stick with good ol’ unsalted butter! It gives richness without overpowering the other flavors.

Vanilla Extract: Just a splash brings a warm aroma that complements the spices perfectly. It’s basically the secret handshake of baking!

Cardamom Powder: This is my secret weapon! Cardamom adds a sophisticated warmth and is a common spice in Persian sweets. It makes your cookies taste so exotic!

Pistachios: Chopped pistachios add a beautiful crunch and vibrant green color. Plus, they’re just so darn tasty!

Salt: A pinch enhances all the flavors, making your cookies even more delicious.

Milk: This is only used if necessary to get the dough to the perfect consistency. Grab some to have on hand!
