These were good. Next time i would add powdered ginger to either the dough or an icing. As an aside, I feel that experimentation in the kitchen is tradition in many western cultures, especially in the kitchen of my central European grandmothers. It wasn’t so much a reaction to what was being advertised or pushed in the commercial food world, as much as it was making something yummy loosely based off one of your standard recipes using ingredients that were available. To this day that’s how they cook, despite the fact they have an abundance of ingredients available to them at the grocery store.

I guess i did not like the texture, it did not taste like arisulu at all and the taste was really bad. taste varies by person..but I was really excited to try it after reading all the coments about tasting just like arisilu and they tasted really bad.

These are the worst cookies ever. I had to thow the whole batch out. I even ruined my mixie while doing this. It took me forever to do these too.I am super duper dissapointed. Please don’t try these.

Hello Sal,
Sorry to hear your bad experience. It pains me to read your anger. What went wrong? Did you not like the taste? or something wrong with the ingredient combination or quantity? Please do write few words.

The cookies look delicious, but slightly undercooked in the centre or are they supposed to be that way?

They look wonderful, must try them.

Indira says…
They taste great too, kitchen hand. More nutty than sweet. Do let me know how they turn out.
Thank you!
