Made this wonderful and delicious healthy cookies today (actually this is the 2nd time I made this). My younger girl has this diet called Eggless diet because she said it made her put on weight. The cookies are crisp and addictive due to the dried cranberries and they taste and smell like normal cookies. When you bite into them, there is just a tinge of rose taste in them, not over powering because I uses vanilla essence instead of rose essence. This recipe was originally from http://bossacafez.blogspot.com/2010/06/cranberry-rose-cookies.html. I change them abit to suit my taste as we don't like over-powering rose scent. The vanilla essence gives a nice vanilla cookies flavour.
180 gm cake flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
50 gm powdered sugar
100 gm cold unsalted butter
1/4 tsp salt
2 tbsp dried rose buds, petals picked and sepals discarded
1/3 cup dried cranberries, finely chopped
1 tbsp cold milk
1 tsp rose essence or vanilla extract
white chocolate, chopped
Method:
1. Medium bowl: sift flour, baking soda and salt, set aside.
2. Large bowl: Electric mixer - beat together butter and powdered sugar until until creamy. Add in rose essence or vanilla extract.
3. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture followed by cold water or milk.
4. Using a spatula - fold in rose petals and cranberries + white chocolate until a rough dough is formed.
5. Roll dough into a ball and refrigerate for 20-30 mins.
6. Heat oven to 160 degC and line baking tray with baking paper.
7. Using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes from the dough until all the dough has been used up.
8. Baked cookies for 15 mins at 160 degC and another 10 mins at 110 degC until golden. Cool cookies completely before storing.
