  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon rosewater
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Mix shortening, sugar, eggs and rose fluid until fluffy. Stir flour and salt together, then mix in butter mixture. Dough will be soft. Chill several hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) Light grease or line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Using 1/3 of dough at time (keep rest of dough refrigerated) roll into balls about 3/4 inch in diameter. Place on cookie sheets. Flatten with hand until approximately half of their original thickness. Imagine the flattened cookie to be a clock. Make 2 slits, each 1/2 inch long, in cookie at 10:00 and at 2:00. Pinch bottom to form "base" of petal. Sprinkle with red or pink decorator's sugar.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom. Do not brown tops of cookies!
