Ingredients

1 cup sliced almonds
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon rose water
1/4 cup dried rose petals, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix the Ingredients: In a bowl, combine melted butter, granulated sugar, almond extract, and rose water. Stir in flour, sliced almonds, chopped rose petals, and salt until well combined.
Scoop the Dough: Drop teaspoon-sized amounts of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart as they will spread while baking.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as they can burn quickly.
Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve: Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar if desired and enjoy your Rose Petal Almond Lace Cookies!
