This is definitely a cookie, an Armenian treat especially at Christmas. I remember my mother making it, and it was, hands down, my most favourite of all! It is a shortbread cookie with a bit of a more crumbly texture that melts in your mouth.
it’s an armenian cookie. my mum makes them into an enlongated S shaped. without walnuts but with a blanched almond on top. my favourite.
Thanks very much for the feedback guys, I’m glad I guessed right :)
