Persian Love Cookies

Persian Love Cookies infused with cardamom and almonds for tea parties, weddings, showers, and spring parties.
Persian love cookies are buttery fragrant almond cookies dipped in a light almond glaze and dusted with crushed pistachios and rose petals. If love had a flavor, this would be it.
My pretty Persian Love Cookies take their cue from Persian love cake ~ a moist, fragrant cake known for the delicate flavors of cardamom, rosewater, and almonds. It’s one of those recipes that feels steeped in legend, in fact one creative origin story spins the tale of a medieval princess baking the cake to win the love of her prince. But in reality, this is a modern creation ~ an irresistible fusion of Middle Eastern flavors and Western baking traditions.
These pretty cookies are a spinoff recipe perfect for weddings, showers, spring brunches, tea parties or just because you feel like baking up something a little different. And whether or not my Persian love cookies have ancient roots, they’re pure magic. If love had a flavor, it just might taste like this.
