It’s time for Valintine’s just about! Here, have a cookie recipe.
Egyptian Rose Cookies
Yield: 2 to 3 dozen
Ingredients:
â…“ cup shortening
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon rosewater
2 cups all-purpose flour
ÂĽ teaspoon salt
Directions:
Step 1
Mix shortening, sugar, eggs, and rose fluid until fluffy. Stir flour and salt together, then mix in butter mixture. The dough will be soft. Chill several hours or overnight.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) Lightly grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 3
Using 1/3 of dough at a time (keep rest of dough refrigerated) roll into balls about 3/4 inch in diameter. Place on cookie sheets. Flatten with hand until approximately half of their original thickness. Imagine the flattened cookie to be a clock. Make 2 slits, each 1/2 inch long, in the cookie at 10:00 and at 2:00. Pinch bottom to form “base” of petals. Sprinkle with red or pink decorator’s sugar.
Step 4
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned on the bottom. Do not brown tops of cookies!
