Description
Discover the secret recipe for delicious lotus flower cookies, also known as Lotus Petal Delights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 cup lotus biscoff spread (or similar cookie spread)
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and confectioners’ sugar together until the mixture is airy and pale.
- Stir in the vanilla essence until fully incorporated.
- In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, ground almonds, baking soda, sea salt, and nutmeg, mixing well.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, stirring gently until just blended.
- Carefully mix in the lotus biscoff spread and, if desired, the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space between each.
- Lightly press each mound down with your fingers to create a rounded shape.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn a delicate golden hue.
- Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra indulgence, top the cooled cookies with a drizzle of melted white chocolate.
- For a nut-free alternative, replace the ground almonds with sunflower seed flour, adjusting the quantity to 3 tablespoons as needed.
