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)
  • 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 light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  2. Combining Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing to maintain cookie tenderness.
  3. Chilling the Dough: Divide dough into two portions, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up for easier handling and better texture.
  4. Baking the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll chilled dough to ¼-inch thickness on a floured surface and use a round cutter to cut cookies.
  5. Creating Cookie Shapes: Arrange cookies 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool on wire racks completely before frosting.
  6. Making the Raspberry Rose Frosting: Beat softened butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating well after each cup until fluffy. Mix in raspberry puree and rose water thoroughly.
  7. Adjusting Frosting Consistency: Add pink or red food coloring for deeper color if desired. Adjust consistency with heavy cream or milk until piping consistency is achieved.
  8. Decorating the Cookies: Fill a piping bag fitted with a large rose tip with frosting. Pipe onto each cooled cookie in a swirling rose petal pattern from center outward.
  9. Final Touches: Optionally sprinkle edible glitter or sugar crystals for sparkle. Allow frosting to set slightly before serving.
  10. Storing the Cookies: Keep leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading during baking and to achieve the best texture.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the frosting by varying powdered sugar amount to preference.
  • Rose water intensity can be modified according to taste; start with less and add more gradually.
  • If raspberry puree is too watery, strain well or reduce slightly to avoid frosting becoming too runny.
  • Use fresh or frozen raspberries to make the puree by blending and straining for a smooth texture.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with vegan butter alternative and egg with flax egg or apple sauce.
