Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 ounces unsalted butter softened
- 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 teaspoon rosewater
- 2 Tablespoons culinary rose petals finely chopped
- Additional sugar and rose petals to sprinkle over the cookies after baking.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Cream butter until light and fluffy.
- Slowly add sugar and rose water, and rose petals, scraping down sides.
- Mix flour and salt together. Add flour all at once, and mix just until incorporated. Do not over-mix.
- Using your hands, pat into a cookie sheet, or use a rolling pin and roll to about 1/2" thick. If using a cookie cutter, chill dough about 30 minutes, until firm, so it will hold its shape.
- Cut out shapes and place on cookie sheet. Chill again until firm.
- Bake at 300 degrees F. for about 20-25 minutes, until pale and barely golden. Check at 18-20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with rose sugar if desired. Allow to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- To make rose sugar, put 2 Tablespoons sugar in food processor with 2 teaspoons rose petals. Pulse until petals are finely chopped.
- Store shortbread in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
