Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and kosher salt until evenly combined.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the very cold butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.
- Speed to low, add the egg and 2 teaspoons rose water; beat just until incorporated.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined—avoid overworking the dough.
- Turn the dough onto parchment, shape into a square, roll to about 1/4 inch thickness, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Cut shapes with cookie cutters, place on parchment-lined baking sheets, and freeze for 10–15 minutes.
Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the cookies for about 10 minutes until golden around the edges.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
Glazing
- Whisk together confectioners’ sugar, kosher salt, heavy cream, and rose water until thick but spreadable. Adjust consistency as needed.
- Dip or spread cooled cookies with the glaze and press an edible flower into the glaze.
- Allow glaze and flowers to set for 2–3 hours before stacking or serving.
Notes
Store glazed cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Unglazed cookies freeze well for up to 2 months.
