Eggless Saffron pistachio cookies/ Saffron pistachios cookie is a very fragrant, light and delicious cardamom and saffron flavored cookies that can be made quickly at home with handful ingredients. The addition of pistachios on the cookies gives extra crunchiness which makes it super delish. When you bake these cookies at home trust me the house will be filled with saffron elaichi aroma which will linger for hours making it feel like heaven. You all know Christmas is right there and I love baking cookies and cakes much at this time of the year and I guess many do so. Speaking about Christmas here is the no alcohol cake recipe PLUM CAKE/ NO ALCOHOL CHRISTMAS CAKE.

Though I like baking at this time of the year this is an accidental recipe like this, I had extra saffron milk after using it for dum biryani, dint want to trash it so tried making these cookies and it tasted excellent. Be it tea time or non tea time this cookie can be relished at any time of the day for its taste. Do give it a try and let me know its making!!
