Are you ready to try something new and exciting in the kitchen? These homemade cookies are the perfect choice!
We are so excited to share with you a new recipe, that we experimented with over the weekend: Rose Cookies. Baking with rosehip is a new thing for us. Before we have only made garnitures and syrups from the flowers but never used them in baking until we stumbled across this recipe.
To recreate these cookies, you will need dried rose petals and some rose syrup or water. If you are feeling adventurous, you can make your rose syrup using a recipe, previously shared (linked here). Otherwise, you can easily buy these ingredients if you find yourself short on time or simply cannot find roses in your area – you can buy it on Amazon. Rose water is linked right here and dried rose petals here.
The cookie itself is like a classic shortbread cookie, suited perfectly with a relaxing teatime or a cozy coffee break with friends. The best part? They are extremely simple to make and require no advanced baking skills – they are very beginner-friendly.
