Barazik (Syrian Sesame and Pistachio Cookies)

I didn't know anything about Syria at all and nothing involved with this country ever came through my mind! However, my attention was immediately caught when I saw the photo in food&travel magazine and even more when I found out what it really is..you can easily guess what I did next straight away!!

Since I had no experience in these cookies, so I'm not sure if the recipe I've used is authentic. Anyway, they were easy to make and didn't take that long to have my first bite on it! As a nut lover, I knew this cookie wouldn't let me down even before I tasted it but it turned out even better.. Lightly sweet nutty topping along with mild crunchy, yet soft cookie base...it's hard to explain and I think the best to know how it tastes is to try it yourself !!
