Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a bowl, whisk 1.5 cups flour, 0.5 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Make a well and add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla; stir until a dough forms.

  3. Step 3

    On a floured surface, roll dough into a log and cut into 8 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten slightly and pinch edges to form 5 petals around a center.

  4. Step 4

    Place flowers 2 inches apart on the sheet. Bake until edges are lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

  5. Step 5

    Dust with 2 tablespoons powdered sugar before serving.
