Directions
Koloocheh (Persian Purim Cookies), This is a dairy version of the cookies my fiance’s grandma would prepare for Purim (a Jewish holiday in the spring) The crisp shortbread dough encases a sweet filling made of walnuts and rose water Easy to make, and delicious! Note: the original recipe is parve and uses oil in place of butter I have never made cookies without butter or margarine and was scared to try it without knowing the proper proportions If you know how to do it, please let me know! :), This is a lovely recipe! I just wanted to say, we usually bake with olive oil – you can use 3/4 C olive oil in place of the 1 C butter to make these cookies pareve There are charts for the substitution available online, but that general proportion works for substituting other measurements as well , This is a lovely recipe!
