Baked cookies.

These cookies are very yummy.

They combine my two favorite flavors: cardamom and rose water.

If you have never tried rose water - it is amazing!

It adds an addictive quality to these cookies, increasing the buttery flavor and adding a sweet aftertaste - that makes you want to eat more!
