Ingredients
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1 egg
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Assorted edible flower petals (such as rose, lavender, or violets)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms.
6. Gently knead the dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness.
7. Carefully press the assorted edible flower petals into the surface of the dough, arranging them in a decorative pattern.
8. Use a cookie cutter to cut out the shaped cookies and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best results, use fresh, pesticide-free edible flowers.
