Pistachio Palmiers image

My family loves palmiers from the bakery, so I created my own recipe. These have a Middle Eastern twist with the addition of rosewater, honey and a touch of cardamom. They are light and crisp-a special treat for the holidays. -Deborah Hinojosa, Saratoga, California

These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy. I love the way the pistachios add a bit of texture.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies didn't turn out as good as the picture. They were still tasty, but they didn't look as impressive.

I had some trouble rolling out the dough. It was a bit too sticky. I ended up having to flour my hands and work surface a lot.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with less sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of pistachios, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The honey glaze is what really makes them special.
