Steps:
- Beat butter & powdered sugar together until creamy.
- Add egg yolk & cardamom.
- With your hands knead in the chickpea flour until smooth.
- Pinch off tiny pieces of dough about the size of hazelnuts and roll them into balls between the palms of your hands.
- Decorate the tops of the cookies by pricking them with the tines of a fork or by pressing the back of the tines horizontally onto the cookies.
- Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake in a slow oven (300F) for about 30 minutes. This dough is very "short" and needs to be well kneeded. For an even "shorter" dough, omit the egg yolk.

NAN-E NOKHOCHI (PERSIAN CHICKPEA-FLOUR COOKIES)
Steps:
- Beat the butter, sugar and cardamom together until creamy. Beat in the egg yolk (to make a firmer cookie, or omit to keep it more "short"). Mix in the flour and knead until smooth. Traditionally the dough is rolled out and cut with a cookie cutter, or made by hand into little balls. As the dough is quite difficult to handle, I prefer the following alternative: Pack the dough firmly into a greased rectangular container so that it is about 1/2 inch thick. Cut across both ways to make 1/2 cubes. Chill the dough for about 1/2 hour, then carefully remove the cubes. Place the cookies about 1 inch spacing on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes at 300. Allow to cool on the sheet before removing.

My favorite Iranian cookie! These are made from chickpea flour and have such a unique and lovely taste. They melt right in your mouth and are irresistible. They pair nicely with tea.
