Instructions

In a bowl mix the almond flour with powdered sugar.
Add the rosewater, one tablespoon at a time and mix until the dough comes together. You can first mix using a spoon and then your hands. The dough is ready once it doesn't stick to your hands and is pliable.
If you'd like to use food coloring, divide the dough into 2-3 pieces and dye each piece with your favorite color.
To shape, grab about a teaspoon of the mixture and shape it into a cone. Roll the cone in granulated sugar and the stick the pistachio sliver into the fat end of the cone so it resembles a stem.
Arrange all on a small platter.

Notes
