About the Recipe

Adapted from #adamantkitchen.com "Dandelion shortbread cookies add a bright, sunny spring twist to an old school classic. Shortbread is rather plain on its own, but it’s also adaptable, and adding edible flowers is a lovely way to add a bit of excitement. Dandelion cookies anyone?"

Ingredients

  • ½ cup sugar

  • ½ to 1 cup dandelion petals (yellow parts only)
