Dried rose petals and cashew cookies sweetened with jaggery syrup

Dried rose petals and cashew cookies sweetened with jaggery syrup 

I have mentioned in one of my previous posts about buying dried rose petals on pure impulse. We don't generally use this ingredient in our daily cooking, hence my mind wanders as to what to, how to and  when to use up this flavorful ingredient. Yes its flavorful and indescribably aromatic too! My mind wandered and reached at cookies, yet again :) 

It really was a trial and error recipe but the results was not disheartening. Hubby dear gave a green signal to the product hence its making way into my blog . these little challenges and result makes us 

happy . isn't it? 

Anyway knowing that I should save the recipe before forgetting I am sharing with you all

Ingredients

Whole wheat flour - 1 cup

Butter - 1/4 cup

Jaggery syrup - 1/2 cup

Dried rose petals - 1/4 cup

Cardamom powder - a pinch

Baking powder  - a pinch

Crushed cashews - 1/4 cup

Method
Preheat the oven at 160 degrees Celsius.
Powder the dried rose petals well in a mixer or a coffee grinder.
Throw in all the ingredients in a huge bowl and mix gently with hands until you form a soft dough.
Make small balls of the dough and place in a greased baking tray.
Place the tray in the oven and bake the cookies for about 20 minutes or until you see the sides browning. If you prefer the top of the cookies to be brown as well, change to grill mode.
Remove the tray from the oven and gently remove the cookies using a spatula and place in the wire rack. The cookies will be very soft at this stage. Once it cools it turns crunchy. Store in airtight container. Ok, yea before that take a bite, taste and  don't forget to share :)

Baking is no rocket science, try it before its too late. You can make various flavours at home for kids instead of buying.


Happy baking
Thanks
