# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • The delicate floral aroma fills your kitchen while they bake, making the whole house feel like spring has arrived early
  • These cookies look stunning on a platter but come together with simple ingredients you probably already have
  • The balance of buttery richness and subtle floral notes makes them impossible to stop eating at just one
02 -
  • I once used flowers from a regular florist and learned the hard way that only food-safe edible flowers should ever touch your baking
  • The dough might seem slightly crumbly before baking but this is normal and they will bake into perfect cookies
03 -
  • If your dried blossoms are too large, gently crush them in a clean coffee grinder or mortar and pestle before sprinkling
  • Chill the shaped dough on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape better
