Rose Cookies
These simple rose cookies are soft buttery cookies made with custard powder and optional granola for extra texture. They are easy to prepare and make a fun homemade treat for tea time, snacks, holidays, or dessert trays.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 2 tablespoons mixed fruit custard powder or Instant vanilla, banana or strawberry pudding mix
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granola (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour and custard powder and mix until crumbly. Pour in the heavy cream and continue mixing until a soft dough forms. Stir in the granola if using. Scoop small spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment-lined or lightly greased baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Gently flatten the tops if desired. Bake for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until the cookie edges are lightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Yield: About 18 to 24 cookies depending on size.
