Persian Rice Cookies

When I came home early from elementary school on friday, my mother would greet me at the door where, inside the house, that same evocative scent perfumed the air and I knew she had baked a traditional dessert: rice cookies scented with rose water and cardamom. Naturally gluten free, this crumbly cookie is dense yet tender, with just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoy this delicate cookie with a bruised cardamom
