Place the butter in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat the butter until it is a uniform texture. Then add powdered sugar and stir for a 1 minute. Add honey and cardamom powder and whisk for few seconds.

Now, sift the flours and pour it over the butter mixture and mix it with hand

* Step 4

While you are mixing you have a crumbly mixture, but after a kneed for a minute, you would have a uniformed dough. Wrap the dough in a plastic and allow to sit in the fridge for overnight.

* Step 5

Next day, preheat the oven at 180C degree.Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper. Cover the dough with second piece of parchment paper. Flatten the dough with rolling pin. Remove the top paper.

* Step 6

Use a cutter and cut the dough into pieces. If cutter is not available, so no worries simply dust your hand with flour and take small portion of a dough and give a round or long shape to the dough.Place them on a baking tray (no need to grease the tray or line it with parchment paper). Mix egg yolk with saffron water and a pinch of salt. Brush the mixture onto the tops of cookies with a pastry brush. Now rub a fork on each cookie and make a pattern as you see in the photos.

* Step 7

Spread some sesame seeds or ground pistachio on the cookies. Place them in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Once they are done, remove from the oven. Let to cool and then place them in a favourite platter.
