How to Make Afghani Nan Khatai Cardamom Spiced Cookies Topped With Pistacios
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Add 1 cup vegetable oil (or ghee for a richer flavor) to the dry ingredients. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.

- Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy!
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
