I called the original recipe "Fairy Rose Cookies" because one day while I was making one of my Inspirational Faeries, this recipe came to me. I have altered it for Christmas and to be honest these cookies will melt in your mouth. They have become one of my favorite cookies. Enjoy!Soak ¼ cup of Rose Petals in a ½ cup of warm water for 30 minutes.
Soak ¼ cup of Craisins (sweetened dried cranberries) in ½ cup of water for 30 minutes.
Chop the craisins in a coffee grater until they are real fine, set aside
Strain the Rose Petals, set water aside and again in the coffee grater chop the rose petals real fine.
Cream together:
- 1 stick of unsalted margarine (softened at room temperature)
- 1 stick of regular margarine (softened at room temperature)
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 2 tablespoons of Rose Water
Mix in:
- Chopped Craisins
- Chopped Rose Petals
- ¼ cup of Mini Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Slowly Add:
2 cups of all purpose flour to mixture
Blend all of the ingredients together. Use a 1 inch cookie scoop and drop the cookie mix onto a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes until cookies are a light golden brown. Let them completely cool.
Make a Glaze: (optional)
½ cup of Powder sugar
1 to 1 ½ teaspoon of Rose Water
(You may have to add a few more drops of Rose Water, but start out with the smallest amount)
Put glaze into a zip lock baggie, snip a corner and drizzle over cooled cookies.
Save the rest of your Rose Water in the refrigerator, it will keep for a few days. Try adding it to noodles for a delicious taste.
