Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup dandelion petals
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • To gather the dandelion petals, I find it easiest to get the heads of the flowers when they are closed. I hold onto the yellow portion and cut off the bottom green stem. Try to remove all green portions.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, cream sugar and softens butter until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in honey and then gently fold in dandelion petals.
  • Add flour and sprinkle salt on top. Mix until just combined. For best results, allow the dough to chill at least a half hour.
  • Scoop dough by tablespoonfuls. Roll each tablespoon of dough into a ball and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Use a flat bottomed cup dipped in powdered sugar to flatten the cookies slightly.
  • Bake for 9-11 minutes, until slightly browned on the edges. Enjoy!
