Naan berenji

Naan berenji are light and crunchy Iranian cookies made with rice flour. They are usually flavored with rose water or cardamom, formed into flat, round shapes, then decorated with poppy seeds, pistachios, or barberries. These traditional cookies are typically prepared and enjoyed on Iranian New Year as a light afternoon dessert accompanied by a warm cup of coffee or tea. Even though they are eaten throughout the country, naan berenji cookies from the Kermanshah region are believed to be the most authentic variety.
