Made with finely ground walnuts, egg whites, sugar, and a hint of cardamom or vanilla, their chewy yet crisp texture is as memorable as their story. Each bite transports you to a place where culinary traditions are cherished and passed down through time. These cookies hold a special place in Persian history.

Known locally as nan-e gerdui, they are often lovingly prepared by hand, symbolizing hospitality and affection.
