Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups (150 g / 5.3 oz) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick / 115 g / 4 oz) salted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100 g / 3.5 oz) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp rose extract

Add-ins

  • 1 cup (200 g / 7 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
  • Rose chocolate chips (optional, for decoration)


Instructions

  1. Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C / gas mark 4). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Also line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to use later for freezing the cookies after baking. Set aside.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder until evenly mixed. Set aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Incorporate egg and rose extract: Add the large egg and rose extract to the butter mixture. Mix well until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Add dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain tender cookies.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Gently stir in the semisweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop cookies: Using a small cookie scoop (approximately 2 tablespoons), drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches (5 cm) apart.
  8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until they are just starting to turn golden brown around the edges.
  9. Add chocolate roses: While the cookies are still hot and soft on the baking sheet, quickly press a few rose-shaped chocolate chips into the top of each cookie. Be cautious to avoid burns.
  10. Freeze cookies: Immediately transfer the cookies using a spatula onto the small parchment-lined baking sheet and place into the freezer for 5 minutes. Freezing quickly cools the cookies and sets the chocolate roses, preventing melting.
  11. Serve: After the chocolate roses have set, transfer the cookies to a cooling rack. They are ready to enjoy and can be stored for later serving.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter for easy creaming and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep cookies tender.
  • The rose extract adds a subtle floral note; use high-quality extract for best flavor.
  • Press chocolate roses quickly into warm cookies to avoid burns and ensure proper setting.
  • Freezing is key to set the decorative chocolate without melting.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
