Steps:
- Put the butter and the flour in a large mixing bowl and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture looks like grainy sand.
- In another bowl, stir together the rest of the ingredients until smooth and runny. Pour over the butter and flour mixture and combine with your hands. When the dough is soft and squidgy, shape it into a ball, wrap it up in cling film and put it in the fridge for 20-30 mins to firm a little.
- Just before you remove the dough from the fridge heat your oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment.
- Remove the dough from the fridge. Sprinkle some flour on your work surface and on a rolling pin then roll out the dough until it's about the thickness of a £1 coin.
- Use your ruler and a dinner knife to carefully cut the biscuit dough into rectangles that are 10cm long and 3cm wide and put them on the trays, leaving 2 fingers worth of space between each biscuit.
- Put the biscuits in the oven for 10-12 mins. Once baked, cool in the trays for a few minutes then carefully transfer to a wire rack until completely cool. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
- To decorate, melt the chocolate in the microwave then dip the end of each biscuit in the melted chocolate and leave to set on a plate or tray lined with baking parchment. Before the chocolate sets sprinkle them with a pinch of your favourite toppings then leave somewhere cool for 1-2 hrs. If giving as a gift, pack into little boxes once the chocolate is completely set (keeps for 2-3 days).

PISTACHIO, CARDAMOM AND SAFFRON COOKIES
There is something decadent in the simplicity of shortbread cookies. Bursting with flavors, this easy cookie is gorgeous to behold, its heady aroma of saffron, pandanus and cardamom are inviting and intoxicating, and it is even more deliciously addictive at first bite. These cookies will surely test your willpower and your festive spirit of sharing. My paternal grandfather owned a cookie shop called 'Nandita's' in the mid-1970s, in Thane, a suburb of my hometown of Mumbai. He was a chef and restaurateur in his youth and loved to cook, particularly desserts. We called him Jadiya Dadaji -- or plump grandpa, as his love of good food showed in his cheeks and belly. Each Diwali, he would come home to cook something special for my father. To calm us eager kids, he brought with him one or more large tins filled to the brim with cookies. Sometimes my brother and I each got our own tin, at other times we got one large tin -- to share. These cookies are an homage to him, Jadiya Dadaji, and the love of nuanced flavors and cooking that he instilled in our family, particularly my mother and me.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a multi-cavity cookie tray (e.g. mini muffin tray, a muffin-top tray or a hemisphere pan) with the 1 tablespoon butter and set aside to chill.
- Combine the warm milk with the saffron threads, stir and set aside for 5 minutes until the saffron threads begin to bloom and the milk takes on a golden hue.
- Cream the remaining 1/2 cup butter with the granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl for 2 to 3 minutes until the butter is soft and the sugar has melted in. Add the crushed cardamom pods, finely chopped pistachios, the saffron milk with the saffron threads and a pinch of grated nutmeg if using and the pandanus water. Mix until well combined. Slowly add in the all-purpose flour and salt and mix well again. The mixture will be sandy in texture. Use a spatula to break up any lumps and stir it all until well combined and there are no dry spots.
- Portion the cookie mixture using an ice cream scoop and scoop it directly into the prepared chilled cookie tray. Lightly compress the mixture into the cavity using the back of a spoon. Fill each cavity to the top as these cookies will not rise. Chill any unused cookie mixture between bakes.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges begin to lightly brown. The cookies do not change color or rise during baking. Carefully unmold from the cookie tray. Place them on a wire rack and allow them to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in a cool place until ready to decorate.
- To decorate: Arrange the cookies on a wire rack with a drip pan or cookie sheet underneath.
- Bring a few inches of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Place the melting white chocolate wafers in a heatproof bowl over the simmering water. The bottom of the bowl must not touch the water. Maintain a slow simmer and do not let the water boil. Using a silicone spatula, stir until the chocolate is melted. Quickly stir in one pinch of saffron threads while the chocolate is warm.
- Carefully pour the white chocolate over the cookies or dunk cookies into the chocolate. Alternatively, use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over each cookie. Sprinkle the pistachio slivers, gold dust or sprinkles and more saffron threads before the chocolate hardens. Cool completely.
- Serve when the chocolate is firm.
- Store in a cool, airtight container for up to a week.
PISTACHIO CARDAMOM BUTTER COOKIES
Creamy white chocolate makes a rich, milky finish for these deliciously spiced cookies. For the best flavor, buy the highest quality white chocolate you can find. High-quality milk or dark chocolate can be substituted, if white chocolate isn't your thing.

Steps:
- Make the cookies:
- Cook butter and cardamom in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is golden brown and fragrant, 6-8 minutes. Let stand 15 minutes, then strain butter through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Freeze until just firm, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl.
- Transfer butter to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; add sugar. Beat on medium-high speed until pale and well combined, about 2 minutes. Add egg and beat until combined, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add dry ingredients and pistachios and beat on low speed just until combined.
- Turn out dough onto a clean work surface. Divide in half. Place each half on a 9x13" sheet of parchment paper with the long end facing you. Roll dough into 2 logs about 1 1/2" in diameter. Wrap each in parchment paper, making sure to cover ends completely. Chill until firm, at least 1 hour or up to overnight.
- Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Let dough stand at room temperature until soft enough to slice, about 15 minutes. Slice logs into 1/4"-thick rounds. Arrange rounds on 2 parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets about 1" apart. Bake cookies, rotating sheets halfway through, until bottoms are lightly golden, 12-15 minutes. Transfer sheets to wire racks and let cool.
- Make the glaze and assemble the cookies:
- Combine chocolate and oil in a small heatproof bowl. Heat in 10-second intervals in microwave, stirring, until melted and combined, 30-40 seconds total.
- Dip cookies halfway into melted chocolate and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle chocolate with pistachios. Chill until chocolate is set, about 10 minutes.
- Do ahead
- Dough can be made up to 2 weeks ahead; keep frozen. Let stand at room temperature until soft enough to slice, about 30 minutes.

Cool for 10 minutes on a rack. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees F. With an electric knife, or very sharp knife, cut thin slices (1/4-inch thick, 7 inches long) and place on a large cookie sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes longer, or until crisp, dry, and firm.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cardamom, and salt.
- In a food processor, combine the granulated sugar and ½ cup (65 g) pistachios. Process until finely ground. Transfer to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
- Add the butter to the stand mixer bowl and beat on medium speed until smooth, 1 minute. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the egg and vanilla and beat until almost combined. Add the flour mixture and continue to mix on medium-low speed just until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into 2 portions and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Working with 1 portion at a time, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to ⅛ inch thick. Using a 2 ⅝-inch (6-cm) scalloped-edge cutter, cut out cookies, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets, spacing 1 inch apart. Re-roll the scraps to cut out more cookies. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
- Arrange the oven racks in the top and bottom third positions. Preheat to 350°F (180°C).
- Bake the cookies, rotating the baking sheets 180° and swapping top to bottom halfway through, until the cookies have set, 12-14 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Combine the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl and stir until smooth; the icing will be thick.
- Using an offset spatula, spread the icing evenly over cookies, all the way to the edges. Return to the rack and immediately sprinkle the finely crushed pistachios and rose petals, if using, on top. Let sit until dry to the touch, 20 more minutes.
- Enjoy!
