Ingredients

Place the butter in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat the butter until it is a uniform texture. Then add powdered sugar and stir for a 1 minute. Add honey and cardamom powder and whisk for few seconds.

Now, sift the flours and pour it over the butter mixture and mix it with hand

While you are mixing you have a crumbly mixture, but after a kneed for a minute, you would have a uniformed dough.
Wrap the dough in a plastic and allow to sit in the fridge for overnight.

Next day, preheat the oven at 180C degree.Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Cover the dough with second piece of parchment paper. Flatten the dough with rolling pin. Remove the top paper.

Use a cutter and cut the dough into pieces. If cutter is not available, so no worries simply dust your hand with flour and take small portion of a dough and give a round or long shape to the dough.Place them on a baking tray (no need to grease the tray or line it with parchment paper). Mix egg yolk with saffron water and a pinch of salt.
Brush the mixture onto the tops of cookies with a pastry brush. Now rub a fork on each cookie and make a pattern as you see in the photos.

Spread some sesame seeds or ground pistachio on the cookies. Place them in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes.
Once they are done, remove from the oven. Let to cool and then place them in a favourite platter.
