Merry Armenian Christmas!

It's been again a long time since I posted a blog, I know. We are now in 2015. For some of you it is late but still happy new year! For almost everybody holiday season is over but not for Armenians :) Today is Christmas Eve and tomorrow we will celebrate Christmas. That's why I wanted to share a recipe with you. It is a very easy cookie recipe. You can serve them after dinner with tea or coffee if you and your guests still have some space to eat something :) If you saw an Armenian dinner, you would know what I am talking about ;)

No more chit-chatting, here is the recipe. Merry Armenian Christmas :)
