Essentials for the Recipe:
Enchanted Turkish Delight Cookies
Yield: 24 cookies
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill Time: 1 hour
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 27 minutes
Ingredients:
For the Cookies:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons rose water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped Turkish delight
For the Rosewater Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons rose water
Pink food coloring (optional)
Powdered sugar, for dusting finished cookies
Instructions:
Cream the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in the rose water.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring well after each addition.
Fold in the chopped Turkish delight. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a log. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick rounds and place them 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
While the cookies are cooling, prepare the icing. Combine the powdered sugar, rose water, and a few drops of food coloring (if using) in a small bowl, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies. Dust with powdered sugar. Let the icing set before serving.
