Rose flavored Butter cookies




These piped cookies are also commonly known as Melting Moments. As the name implies, they literally melts in your mouth. The dough is made by the creaming method, that is, creaming butter with icing sugar to give a soft and crumbly texture. Icing sugar is used instead of caster sugar to prevent the cookies from spreading. Although the finer the sugar granules, the more spreading they cause, icing sugar which contains cornstarch will actually help the cookies to hold their shape better. Corn flour is also used alongside plain flour  to create the tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture.

These delicate butter cookies are a great treat! The Rose flavor and pink color enhance the beauty of these cookies. The home was with aroma of rose flavor. The recipe is straight forward and down right simple. It requires minimum ingredients and the dough was done in no time. The only difficult part was piping them! I thought I could use my Wilton 1C and 2D  decorating tip as it gives very impressive rosettes just like I did.
