Dan is joining Yossy Arefi in her home kitchen to make saffron sugar cookies for the holidays. These gorgeous cookies include flavors inspired by Yossy's Iranian heritage and are decorated with hand-carved stamps often used to make Kolompeh, or date filled cookiesbefore a quick bake. The cookies are finished with a vibrant yellow saffron glaze and some finely chopped pistachios.
