Gorgeous looking Cardamom Cookies…
Nice introduction and good story about the old time in Iraq …

I also added ground almond in the dough, but didnt add on top as i made them circles and the almond were falling down after baking so I took them off…
the flavour is very good.
Thanks so much for sharing.
