Tookhi

Tookhi refers to a type of cookie or biscuit originating from Afghanistan and surrounding regions. These cookies are typically made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, often incorporating spices such as cardamom or cinnamon for flavor. They are known for their slightly crumbly texture and sweet taste.

The preparation of tookhi can vary, with some recipes including nuts like pistachios or walnuts, or dried fruits for added texture and sweetness. They are often enjoyed with tea or coffee, serving as a popular snack or dessert. Traditional Afghan households may have their own specific recipes passed down through generations, leading to variations in sweetness, spice levels, and inclusion of additional ingredients. Tookhi are a common treat during celebrations and gatherings.
