Ingredients

Scale

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-shaped chocolate chips (optional, for topping)

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 immediately after baking. Set all prepared sheets aside.
  2. Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and baking powder until evenly combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: Using an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the softened salted butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. Continue beating until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined, about 2 minutes.
  4. Incorporate egg and rose extract: Add the large egg and rose extract to the creamed butter and sugars. Mix thoroughly, then scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure even mixing.
  5. Add dry ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined. Be careful to avoid overmixing to keep the cookie dough tender and soft.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips: Stir in the semisweet chocolate chips gently but thoroughly so that they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  7. Drop cookies: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon (about 2 tablespoons size), drop dough balls onto the prepared parchment-lined cookie sheets. Space each dough ball approximately 2 inches (5 cm) apart to allow spreading during baking.
  8. Bake: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn light brown but the centers remain soft.
  9. Add chocolate roses: Immediately after removing from the oven, while the cookies are still hot and soft on the baking sheet, gently press a few rose-shaped chocolate chips into the top of each cookie. Work quickly and carefully to avoid burns.
  10. Freeze cookies: Using a spatula, transfer the decorated cookies onto the small prepared baking sheet and place them into the freezer for about 5 minutes. This quick freeze helps the chocolate roses set firmly and prevents melting.
  11. Serve: Once the chocolate roses have set and the cookies have cooled on a rack, they are ready to enjoy or store. These cookies offer a fragrant, floral twist on a beloved classic, perfect for sharing or gifting.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to ensure a tender texture.
  • Using rose extract is essential for the distinctive flavor; avoid substituting with rose water as it may affect the moisture.
  • If you cannot find rose-shaped chocolate chips, regular chocolate chips can be used just as well but without the decorative effect.
  • Freezing the cookies immediately after baking is key to preserving the decorative chocolate roses and maintaining cookie softness.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
