Cookies dusted with powder sugar
I love Indian tea with cardamom and these cookies are perfect to have with any kind of tea or coffee. The cookies are crunchy and nutty with every bite.

Using your hands, roll dough into little balls and shape into crescent shapes or roll into a ball and flatten dough on a clean work surface and use a cookie cutter to cut into a round shape.
