This is my second dandelion recipe this year. If you haven’t seen the dandelion honey post then go to that post to see how I prepared the dandelion flowers. Dandelion Honey

This recipe is just like any shortbread cookie recipe. You need flour, butter and sugar. The dandelion petals add a nice yellow color but the taste is very subtle.

Start by blending all the wet ingredients together. Cream the butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy and then add the dandelion petals.

Your dough will be a little chunky because of the petals. Knead dough to combine.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and cut out shapes. I used a flower cookie cutter.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet and bake until light golden brown. You want to keep these cookies light to keep the yellow looking vibrant. I topped these cookies with a drizzle of dandelion honey. They were a tasty snack.
