Walnut Koloocheh — Persian Filled Cookies, 4-Pack (7 oz)

Koloocheh (also spelled kolocheh, kolosh or koloshi) is the filled cookie of Lahijan, a tea town on Iran's Caspian coast. Ours is the walnut one — the original.

Four cookies to a box, each one soft cardamom-scented dough sealed around a sweet ground-walnut filling and stamped with the traditional pattern before baking. Earthy and toasty rather than sugary, with a slight bitterness from the walnut that keeps it from being a dessert you get tired of. Made to be eaten with black tea, which is how it is eaten in Gilan.

Baked in the United States by Honey Bird Sweets in Colorado.
