Ingredients

Chocolate Cookies

  • 115 g softened unsalted butter
  • cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ corn starch
  • 1 cup plain flour
  • 3 tsp rose water

Decoration

  • ½ cup white compound chocolate *see notes
  • 1 tbsp edible rose petals

Instructions

  • In a stand mixer or bowl for a hand mixer, place in your butter and powdered sugar.
  • Beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy.
  • Add in your rose water, corn starch and flour and beat until everything is well combined and a dough forms.
  • Remove the dough and roll into a log shape. Approximately 5cm in diameter and 20cm long.
  • Place the log into a piece of plastic/cling wrap and place in the freezer for 30-60 minutes until hard.
  • Pre heat oven to 160c and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Remove the dough from the oven and slice into approx. 1cm slices.
  • Place onto baking sheet and place in the oven for 15 - 17 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.

Decoration

  • Place the chocolate in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time until it is melted.
  • If the chocolate is too thick, a 1/2 teaspoon of flavourless oil can be added to thin and smoothen it.
  • Dip each cookie edge into the chocolate and sprinkle with rose petals. Set aside to cool.

Notes

*compound chocolate does not have cocoa butter in the ingredients and can be reset once melted.
