How to Make Dandelion Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup finely chopped dandelion petals. Gently mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  6. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
