PISTACHIO COOKIES WITH ICE-CREAM

"A crisp, buttery cookie studded with pistachios and served with Ice-cream!"

That sums up this gorgeous combo, I am at a loss of words to describe the flavors , but they are so unique and delicious that you gotta HAVE IT TO BELIEVE IT!

All in all -highly recommended! have with Ice-cream(use flavor of choice-here I used store bought Cookies-and-cream ). The cookies are irresistible enough on their own, dip-dip-dip  them into garam masala chai and enjoy!

I am so glad I found your blog. I was in India recently and spent a few days in Kashmir. I must've taken part in a wedding wazwan, because the meal my host invited me to sounded just like what you described! I am looking for recipes from that meal, so I will go through your older posts.
