Take care!! These Middle Eastern sesame cookies are addictive, especially if you make them really small, about 1-2 inch round, so easy to pop into your mouth!! They are served with sweet Turkish coffee or hot tea.

I'm not a big fan of pistachios, but I still enjoyed these cookies. The orange zest really helped to balance out the flavor.

I found that the cookies were a bit too dry. Next time, I will try adding a little bit of moisture to the dough, such as milk or yogurt.

The cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I will reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I found that the cookies spread a bit too much in the oven. Next time, I will try chilling the dough for longer before baking.

I wasn't sure how the orange zest would taste in these cookies, but I was pleasantly surprised! It added a nice citrus flavor that really complemented the pistachios.
