This is my third and final post on New Year Challenges. I have been planning forever to experiment on ideas and recipes instead of adapting other recipes. Though I am sure most flavour combinations have already been discovered and perfected, there is a thrill and satisfaction of discovering something on your own instead of simply adapting another recipe. I used to do that a lot during my initial days in the kitchen but then it slowly died down as the years went by. Now I want to try dishes on my own and document it. Here is the first one – a rose scented cookie with hazelnuts and rose petals.
Makes around 15 cookies
WHAT WE NEED
1 cup Whole wheat flour
1/2 cup Sugar
1/3 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature (around 80 gms)
1 tbsp Rose water
2 tbsp Hazelnuts, chopped
1 tbsp Dried rose petals
2 tbsp Milk / as required
WHAT TO DO
- Preheat the oven at 175C
- Beat butter and sugar till soft and fluffy, around 4-5 minutes
- Add the rose water, flour and hazelnuts and mix
- Add milk to form a smooth dough
- Line a baking tray with parchment
- Divide the dough into 15-20 parts
- Roll each one into a ball, flatten and place on the baking tray
- Bake for 12-15 minutes till the cookies get brown at the bottom
- Let cool for 10 minutes
- Enjoy!

What a flavorful cookies. I am bit intimidated experimenting with baking recipes, as I still don’t understand the science involved in it.
