Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Dandelion petals
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 0.6667 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.3333 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 piece Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

Pick fresh dandelion flowers from a pesticide-free area. Rinse them gently and remove the yellow petals from the green parts. Measure 1 cup of petals and set aside.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Gently fold in the dandelion petals, ensuring they are evenly distributed through the dough.

Step 8

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should remain soft.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your delicate dandelion cookies with a cup of tea or as a sweet snack!
