Notes: Thanks to my boss at work, I am lucky enough to have been given saffron! If I had bought it myself, I would have sprinkled it only on risotto, but I thought, with this present, I must play with it! So cookies it is! They are very good. Its hard to pick the flavor out if you don’t know what it is, but if you know saffron, you can taste it for sure. Maybe I needed to steep longer. They go great with tea, and aren’t too sweet. Just perfect. I didn’t add sugar on top of mine.
