1/2 tablespoon dried rose petals (lightly crushed)

A pinch of salt

1 tablespoon milk (optional – to adjust dough consistency)
-

METHOD OF PREPARATION:
Step 1: Crush the Rose Petals
Begin by lightly crushing the dried rose petals with your fingers or using a mortar and pestle. This helps to release their natural fragrance, adding an elegant floral note to your cookies.

Step 2: Cream Butter & Sugar
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. This forms the base of your cookies and gives them that melt-in-the-mouth texture.

Step 4: Incorporate the Flour
Gradually add the all-purpose flour into the mixture. Stir continuously until a soft dough starts forming. If the dough feels too dry, add milk—one tablespoon at a time—until it comes together.

Step 5: Fold in Rose Petals
Gently fold the crushed rose petals into the dough. They’ll create beautiful pink flecks throughout the cookies and add a lovely aroma.

Step 6: Shape the Cookies
Take small portions of the dough (about the size of a walnut), roll into balls, and flatten slightly to form cookies. If you’d like, press a few decorative rose petals on top of each cookie for extra charm.

Baking Without an Oven – Tawa Method
Step 7: Prepare the Tawa
Heat a thick-bottomed tawa (griddle) on low flame for 5 minutes. Place a stand or hot pan grid on the tawa to prevent direct heat contact.
Step 8: Set Up the Baking Plate
Grease a plate or shallow tray that fits inside your tawa. This will hold your cookies. Arrange the cookies on the plate, leaving a little space between each.
Step 9: Cook with Care
Place the plate on the stand inside the tawa. Cover with a tight-fitting lid to mimic the oven effect. Cook on low flame for 12–15 minutes until the cookies are lightly golden. If needed, flip them gently to cook both sides evenly.
Step 10: Cool & Serve
Once cooked, carefully remove the cookies and let them cool completely. They’ll firm up as they cool. Enjoy them with tea, or store in an airtight container for up to a week.
