Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

For the Raspberry Rose Frosting:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3–4 cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup raspberry puree (strained to remove seeds)
  • 1 teaspoon rose water (adjust to taste)
  • A few drops of pink or red food coloring (optional, for enhanced color)
  • 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk (to adjust consistency)
  • Edible glitter or sugar crystals for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using a mixer until it’s light and fluffy, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Next, beat in the egg and vanilla extract until everything is well combined.
  2. Combining Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Mix just until the ingredients come together into a soft dough. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
  3. Chilling the Dough: Divide the dough into two equal portions. Flatten each portion into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  4. Baking the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Once the dough has chilled, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out your cookies.
  5. Creating Cookie Shapes: Place the cut-out cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. Once baked, remove them from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Making the Raspberry Rose Frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until it’s creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, making sure to beat well between each addition until light and fluffy. Then, mix in the raspberry puree and rose water.
  7. Adjusting Frosting Consistency: If you want a deeper pink color, add a few drops of pink or red food coloring and mix until you reach your desired shade. If the frosting becomes too thick, add heavy cream or milk a little at a time until it’s just the right consistency for piping.
  8. Decorating the Cookies: Transfer your frosting to a piping bag fitted with a large rose piping tip. Pipe the frosting onto each cooled cookie, starting from the center and swirling outward to create a rose petal effect.
  9. Final Touches: If you wish, sprinkle some edible glitter or sugar crystals on top for a sparkling effect. Allow the frosting to set slightly before serving.
  10. Storing the Cookies: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.

Notes

  • Be sure to chill the dough well to prevent spreading and get clean cookie shapes.
  • Strain the raspberry puree to remove seeds for a smooth frosting texture.
  • Adjust rose water to your taste as it can be quite potent.
  • Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and easy cleanup.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
