Over the Christmas my sitter brought this cookies along with other cookies. First we thought she brought it from outside but when I asked her she said that she made this with her grandma's recipe. She is from Eastern Europe and it's a traditional Christmas cookies in their region. So I searched and found lot of recipes for this, since it is egg less I was more interested to make this but I didn't has cookies cutter so I borrowed it from my friend and make this since she has bigger cutter my cookies came out big , I was thinking to dip them in chocolate and have it but as it is cookies are very sweet , I didn't wanted to make it more sweeter so trash that idea but in next batch will try with chocolate. Since my kids love it her cookies they like mine too and they helped me cutting shape too. Traditionally it has vanilla but I have added cardamom to give nice floral touch.
So from my family to yours Happy Easter to you all.

I love home made cookies dipped into a nice cup of masala chai. Love the crescent shape and I think half dipped i chocolate might make them extra tasty.
