These lacy snowflake-like cookies are as much eye candy as
they are absolutely the tastiest lighter-than-air, flaky pastry you will ever
eat. I don’t think there is a more
beautiful holiday food than rosettes.
Just having a plate of these delicate cookies on your table will instantly
make the season more merry and bright.
If you are looking for a unique gift for friends, family,
neighbors, teachers, or co-workers, this is a delightful way to share the warm spirit of the season. Simply create a gift basket filled with
rosettes, or even better, offer a kit with the recipe, a set of rosette irons, and the mix. You just might help someone start a treasured holiday tradition.
