Pistachio Rose Cookies is a simple cookie recipe as like the shortbread cookies. I tweaked the recipe by opting for whole wheat flour and personally feel there is no difference in taste. This recipe is so simple and easy one-bowl cookie with sliced nutty pistachio and edible rose petals.
Sift wheat flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and salt together and keep it aside. Preheat oven to 180 * C.
In a wide bowl, add sugar powder and room temperature butter and beat well in an electric hand beater until creamy and fluffy.
To it add sifted flour mixture and beat well until it is well combined. Now add milk and mix with a spatula to form a cookie dough consistency. Do not use electric beater for this step.
Add vanilla extract, pistachios and rose petals and mix with a spatula until nuts and rose petals are evenly distributed.
Now take even sized small balls and roll it with your palm. Place the rolled ball on a greased baking tray and place a sliced pistachio in the centre.
Bake at 180 * C for 15 to 16 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
Remove the tray and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Pistachio Rose Cookies are ready to serve with a cup of milk or Chai.
Notes
If you want these cookies super crisp, bake it for two more minutes. I prefer it in both the ways. So I bake two batches, one slight soft centre ones and super crispy ones.Add milk according to the cookie dough consistency. It may vary from 3 to 4 tbsp. Have an eye while mixing.Every oven is different. So have an eye after 13 minutes. Wait the edges turn to golden brown.When removing from oven, the cookie will be soft, wait until it is completely cool to get firm cookies.
