Ingredients
Ingredients
all-purpose flour
2 cups (none)
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon (none)
salt
1/4 teaspoon (none)
butter
1 cup (softened to room temperature)
sugar
2/3 cup (none)
large egg
1 (none)
rose water
1 teaspoon (none)
buttermilk
2-4 tablespoons (use as needed)
red gel food coloring
1/2 teaspoon (plus more if needed)
buttercream frosting
1 cup (none)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
3
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and sugar together at medium speed for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
4
Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and continue to beat until fully incorporated. Stir in the rose water, red gel food coloring, and 2 tablespoons of buttermilk.
5
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. The dough should be stiff, which will help maintain the rose shape while baking. If too dry, mix in additional buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
6
Transfer one-third of the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a 1M star tip. Pipe the batter into 2-inch roses on the baking sheets. Repeat the process with the remaining batter in batches for ease of handling.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are just set. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8
Once the cookies are cooled, pipe or spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of buttercream frosting onto the flat side of a cookie. Top with another cookie to form a sandwich.
9
Repeat the sandwiching process with the remaining cookies until all are assembled.
