PRESSED FLOWER COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 3 baking sheets, or as many as you have, with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand or stand mixer for 3-5 minutes, until the butter and sugar are fully combined and there are no visible bits of butter, but before the mixture becomes fluffy. Add the egg, vanilla extract, orange extract, vanilla bean seeds, and orange zest and beat to incorporate.
• Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined, but still crumbly. Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and bring together with your hands into a smooth ball.
• Lightly flour the surface and the top of the dough. Roll the dough out to about ¼-inch-thick. Use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to punch out cookies, re-rolling the scraps and cutting out more cookies. Place the cookie cut-outs on the prepared baking sheets.
• Working in batches if needed, bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges.
• While the cookies bake, remove any stems and leaves from the flowers and lay them on a paper towel.
• Immediately upon removing the cookies from the oven, place the edible flowers onto the cookies, patting the flowers down gently to ensure they stick. Place another baking sheet on top of the cookies to weigh down for 1-2 minutes; this will help press the flowers into the cookies as they cool. Remove the baking sheet and let the cookies cool completely to firm.
• Arrange the cookies on a platter or in a gift box and serve.
• Enjoy!

THE BEST CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
• Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
• Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).
• Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
• Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
• Cool completely before serving.
• Enjoy!
