Crystallized Sugar Flower Cookies
Photography by Nechama Laitman
When I hear Shavuos the first things that come to my mind are Torah flowers and cheese. I rely on my husband to provide the Torah but the cheese and flowers are definitely my department! Fresh flowers lift my spirits and put a smile on my face but they’re also costly and don’t last very long. I’ve tried to provide some ideas to incorporate flowers into your Yom Tov tablescapes and meals adding festivity without breaking the bank.
INGREDIENTS
- Edible flowers
- Basic cookie dough
- Egg white
- Fine white sugar
PREPARATION
TO CRYSTALLIZE FLOWERS
Using a small pastry brush brush the tops and bottoms of the petals with egg white. Generously sprinkle with fine white sugar on both sides while still wet. Lay on a baking sheet and allow to dry for at least 24 hours.
FOR COOKIES
Note This recipe requires edible flowers. While many flowers are edible you want to make sure to buy ones specified for eating as they haven’t been treated with pesticides. Ask your own rabbinical authority about checking the flowers for bugs.
