Raspberry Rose Cookies
These beautiful and easy raspberry rose cookies are perfect for the Summer time. They are crispy, rich & buttery. Great as a homemade gift too.
Ever since I saw these BEAUTIFUL neapolitan cookies from “i am baker,” I have wanted to make raspberry rose cookies in the same design.
The COOL thing about those cookies is that they look just like spritz cookies BUT they were actually made with basic cupcake decorating tips rather than a spritz cookie press tool.
I thought that was GENIUS and I finally got a chance to make them yesterday.
I made a ROSE design, using Wilton’s star tip and a SPIRAL design, using Wilton’s french tip.
Since it’s Summer, I wanted to make these cookies FRUITY and I did that by adding flavorings, zests and fruit powders.
The rose cookies were RASPBERRY flavored and the spiral ones were ORANGE flavored.
Hubby COULDN’T stop eating the raspberry ones! lol
These CRISPY cookies have a rich BUTTERY flavor.
They are also great for GIFT GIVING during the holiday season.
Put them in a fancy box and wrap a nice ribbon around it and voila… a beautiful HOMEMADE gift!
I was reading up on Spritz cookies and found out that they were very POPULAR back in the day, especially during the holidays.
Their popularity seems to have declined over the years though… I am not sure why!
I still think they have a classy, elegant and VINTAGE feel to them… Don’t you agree?!
The recipe I used for these cookies is slightly modified from the Spritz cookie recipe I found at Betty Crocker’s site.
If you don’t know how to pipe roses, check out this post where I did a tutorial on piping roses.
Anyways, that’s all for today.

Until next time, tata my lovelies!
These look amazing and so delicious! My biggest downfall is putting on the frosting when I’m baking, but I’ll have to give these ones a go and see how I do.
Frosting is my weakness too… especially chocolate buttercream! But, these cookies are so flavorful that you don’t really need frosting 🙂
These are adorable!! I am not very coordinated, so I may not be able to accomplish the great design – but I can’t wait to try the recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I am sure you can make these pretty rose shapes too. My first few were not that great but I got the hang of it after making 5 or 6 🙂
These cookies are so pretty! Love the colors.
Thank you. I use gel colors in my baking. They are wayyyy more vibrant than liquid food coloring!
