Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons rosewater
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Edible rose petals for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Egg and Flavors: Beat in the egg, rosewater, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft; they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool and Decorate: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks. Dust with powdered sugar and top with edible rose petals if desired.
