Ingredients
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 10 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon rose water
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon edible rose petals
Instructions
- Beat with a hand mixer the butter and sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the egg and rose water and keep mixing.
- Incorporate flour, baking powder, salt, and crushed rose petals.
- Shape the dough into a ball with your hands, wrap it in plastic foil and refrigerate it for 30 mins.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Using a rolling pin, roll dough to a ½ inch thickness. Cut cookies in any shape you want with a cookie cutter.
- Re-roll the scraps and continue cutting the dough into cookies until you finish the batch.
- Place the cookies on a baking tray and bake them at 350F for 12-14 minutes or until they are golden brown around the edges. They should remain white on top.
- Remove from the oven, allow them to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then place them on a cooling rack. They keep fresh for few days in an air-tight container.
Notes
- Use food-grade dried rose petals only. Not all dried flowers are edible—make sure the package is labeled culinary or food safe.
- Rose water adds a delicate floral flavor. Start with 1 teaspoon, but feel free to adjust slightly to your taste. A little goes a long way.
- For the best texture, don’t skip chilling the dough. It helps the cookies hold their shape and bake evenly.
- These cookies bake pale on top and lightly golden on the edges. Don’t overbake—they should stay soft in the center.
- Want to make them extra special? Dust with powdered sugar once they’re cool or decorate with a few extra rose petals on top before baking.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5–6 days. You can also freeze the cookies for longer storage.
- These cookies are not overly sweet, which makes them perfect for pairing with tea or coffee.
