Ive made this delicious cookies before but we all know how much I love saffron so had to add that ofcourse and they turned out so DAMN good!!!!! They are fudgy and chewy with a hint of saffron 😍 like forreal how can you not be inlove!!!!!?
I know saffron isnt for everyone and its not a spice you see alot of in american pastries I mean is there ANY? 😂 and I get it can be overwhelming but a little goes A LONG WAY! You can make them without IF you dont want the saffron.
I added some crushed almond slices and something we call Pärlsocker, its like small sugar pellets. I had my family send them to me and can OFCOURSE be excluded unless you have your hands on some 😊.
