Out of all of our crops, our lawn dandelions are doing phenomenally! The kids had fun picking and eating something that usually gets mulched by the mower. Don’t worry, no bees were hurt in the making of these cookies.
Ingredients
1 cup salted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup dandelion petals (yellow part only, the green bits are bitter)
2 1/2 cups BCF Partially Sifted flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
brown sugar
Directions
Beat together butter and sugar until fluffy. Add in the dandelion petals.
Add in flour until a ball forms. You may have to use your hands.
Split the dough in half. Roll each half into logs that are 1-2 inches in diameter.
Brush the egg on the outside of each log and roll in brown sugar until coated.
Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. We did ours overnight.
Preheat oven to 325F.
Cut the logs into 1/2 inch slices and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes.
