Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 2 teaspoons Rose water
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 30 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Edible rose petals (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar with a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and rose water to the creamed mixture and continue to beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll gently between your hands to smooth.
Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your hand to achieve a uniform thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar, and optionally garnish each cookie with a few edible rose petals for a decorative finish.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
