The goal for these cookies was to create them completely in the food processor for two reasons: 1) the convenience of simply adding the ingredients to the food processor, chop, chop and ready is the cookie dough and 2) who likes to do the dishes?! hah, thought so!

*I've used Dextrose in this recipe which is a fructose-free sugar, but you can sub it with your preferred granulated sweetener.
**Instead of Rice Syrup you can use any liquid sweeteners like agave syrup or maple syrup.

    It's like a hybrid of a cookie and a garden, now doesn't that sound heavenly! And Valentine's Day perfect! These look so dainty and delicious. Are they chewy or a little crunchy? I'm imagining a little crunchy, shortbread-esque! Mmmm I love easy cookies :)

      Shortbread-esque is on point! :) Rosewater is always a good thing to have at home. I love to use it in glazes and it's a great addition for mango lassis as well :)
