    Discover the Delights of This Recipe

    There’s something about rosewater that brings an exotic, romantic air to every recipe it touches.

    To some of us, the fragrance of roses brings also memories of childhood, that are warm and fuzzy.

    My maternal grandmother had a rose garden, and every year she used the roses to make rose petals preserves for the cold season.

    I grew up with the perfumed rose petal preserves and remembered that she used to say that not all roses are the same and not all of them are good for preserves.

    She knew her stuff!

    Grandma Elisabeta is not around anymore, but the memories of her food she used to make for her family will stay with me forever.

    I also keep a jar of rose petals in the house at all times, and once in a while, I feed these little memories of her and her rose garden.

    These cookies can be made with either butter or margarine, but to keep the flavor intact, butter is the way to go.

    I am not a fan of margarine anyway, and I would personally never use it in baking, but I know that many of you out there might choose differently, so I am ok with it.

    Just don't tell me, please! 🙂

    Many cookie recipes require the butter to be very cold when cut into the flour, especially the shortbread cookie ones.

    This recipe doesn't require that, the butter is at room temperature and it is mixed first with the powdered sugar. 

    Not only is this easier, but the recipe takes just a few minutes to make, and it results in a cookie that is crisp and buttery and holds its shape beautifully.

    The ones who tasted this recipe told me that the cookies are crisp and hold their shape really well, which I think is because the butter is soft when the recipe is started.

    It is also a really, really good cookie, and even the ones who cannot recognize the rose petal flavor will agree that the cookies are at least delicious.

    Rose Water

    Rosewater may seem like an exotic ingredient, but it is quite easy to find in many grocery stores and Middle Eastern shops.

    If you don’t have access to a store that carries it, you can also order it online here.

    Rose Petals

    If you cannot find them in grocery stores(hint: I found mine at the World Market store, but I know that you might not have one where you live), buy the dried rose petals here.

    My love for cookies and herbs is not new. If you like baking with rosemary, thyme, or lavender, you can try some of these recipes:

      Very easy to make, and they came out wonderful! I used a butterfly cookie cutter, not realizing the connection (butter cookie, butterfly). Everyone loved them!!
