Ingredients


Instructions

  • Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a bowl, cream butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy (about 5 minutes).

  • Add Flavorings: Mix in vanilla extract and rosewater until well incorporated.

  • Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually stir in flour, ground pistachios, and salt until a soft dough forms.

  • Shape the Cookies: Scoop and roll dough into 1-inch balls, place on a lined baking sheet, and flatten slightly.

  • Garnish: Lightly press chopped pistachios and rose petals into the tops.

  • Chill: Refrigerate dough balls on the baking sheet for 20–30 minutes to prevent spreading.

  • Bake: Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C) and bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are just golden.


Notes

  • Adjust rosewater to taste; a little goes a long way.

  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

  • Perfect for festive platters, weddings, or cultural celebrations.
