About the dish

Shakarshee is a traditional cookie originating from Armenia. The cookies are usually made with a combination of wheat flour, egg yolks, walnuts (chopped and halved), icing sugar, and butter. In order to prepare them, butter is mixed with icing sugar, and egg yolks are then added to the mix until well-blended. Flour is added to the mixture along with chopped walnuts, and the dough is formed into small balls. Walnut halves are pushed on top of each cookies, and they’re baked in the oven until golden. Once cooled, shakarshee can be enjoyed with a cup of tea on the side.
