“The ancient city of Shiraz in Iran is often referred to as the “City of Roses.” It’s no surprise that roses found their way into numerous Iranian desserts. From rose flavored ice cream to rose-infused baklavah, the intoxicating smell of roses always transports me back home – to family, savory foods and warmth. I wanted to combine the flavors that remind me of home with a classic American treat – sugar cookies. Baking with tea is much more fun so in place of rose water, I used Rishi Tea’s Organic Wild Rose white tea. The sweetness of white tea combined with the aromatic roses in these sugar cookies was so intoxicating that I found myself eating bits of raw dough! Whether these cookies transport you to a beautiful rose garden in Iran, to the high mountain tea gardens of Fujian or to a quiet and comforting place in your own mind, it will be a place you’ll want to visit time and time again. ”

—Ghazal Sheei

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
