    rose lychee and raspberry shortbread cookies

    Uncategorized

    These cookies have a wonderful flavour I used the juice from some lychees and I added some freeze dried raspberries and rosewater and dried rose petals. these cookies can be vegan if you use vegetable butter rather than dairy.

    Add the butter in to a food processor and pulse to soften then add the icing sugar and rosewater and squeeze the juice out of the lychees then add to the butter mixture and mix then add the flour and salt and freeze dried raspberries and rose petals. Pulse to come together into a ball.
    tip out on to a floured surface and roll together then cover and place in the fridge for half an hour
    preheat the oven to 180c 350f
    roll out between two sheets of baking paper and cut out with a cookie cutter. Prick holes with fork.
    Place on lined cookie tin and bake for 6 to 10 minutes depending on how thin you roll them.

      This is a classic flavour combination, Pierre Herme calls it Ispahan. The three flavours go together wonderfully and I have made Ispahan macarons before (http://www.patisseriemakesperfect.co.uk/ispahan-macarons/).

      These sound like wonderful shortbread, these are quite thin for shortbread, is there any reason for this? Or was it just a personal choice?

      The pictures look fabulous, these would be great for a mille-feuille made with shortbread, fresh raspberries and a rose & lychee cream.

        I wanted them to have a bit.of a crunch rather than be soft and crumbly so i rolled them thinner. I have heard of ispahan before but I had forgotten about it. I will check out your recipe as i love the flavours xx

      Your photos are stunning, and this recipe looks delicious. Ispahan is one of my favorite old rose varieties; I wonder if that's where the name comes from?

      This recipe is great! We divided the batter into two parts. One using freeze dried lychee and the other using freeze dried strawberry. We received equally great comments from both recipes. Also if you like, you can pipe out the cookies using the rose shaped piping nozzle and then put into the fridge later.

        Thank you so glad you like it, I haven’t used freeze dried lychee before I need to get some as I love lychee x
