Did you know? A Persian-inspired cookie with a citrusy zing. Fun fact: Pistachios were a royal snack in Queen Sheba’s court and were dyed red in America to hide stains until the 1970s. The lemon zest adds brightness, a trick borrowed from Italian amaretti. In Iran, these cookies are called "shirini pesteh" and are served with saffron tea during Nowruz.
