Set aside 1 tablespoon of flour, then sift the rest of the flour on the ingredients in the bowl and mix them with a spatula.

Key Points for Persian Raisin Cookies

You should keep the cookies in a cool place and a closed bowl for long-term storage of them. Nan Keshmeshi can be stored in a closed bowl for 10 days.
Nan Keshmeshi dries if the dough stays in the oven for a long time during baking. Also, the amount of flour is effective in drying the pastry.
Solid oil makes the cookies more cohesive. If you use solid oil, be sure to strain it.
Remove the eggs from the refrigerator half an hour earlier to bring them to room temperature.
Wash the raisins well before use and soak them in water for a few minutes to soften them.
Sift the powdered sugar so that there are no large grains in it.
Using butter makes it more fragrant and the taste of cookies better.
When grinding sugar, put a piece of cardamom with the skin until it is completely ground with sugar (Cardamom gives a wonderful aroma to your cookies.)
