Step 1

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter, confectioners sugar and beat together on medium speed until creamy and combined.

Step 2

Beat in the lemon zest, and then the vanilla and rose water.

Step 3

Reduce the mixer speed to low. Flour, salt, cardamom and pistachios are added to the butter/sugar mixture and beaten until just combined. Don’t over mix as this will make the cookies tough.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto some cling film. Press the dough together, forming a disc shape, about an inch in height. Wrap the dough with the cling film and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. The dough needs to chill to relax the gluten. This will make them easier to roll out.

Step 5

Dust your work surface with flour. Roll out your cookie dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out the desired shapes and place on a parchment paper lined cookie sheets, leaving about 2 inches in between the cookies.

Step 6

Place the cooking sheets into the refrigerator to chill for 30-45 minutes.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 350F while the cookies are chilling.

Step 8

Once the cookies are properly chilled, bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges of the cookies start to turn a light golden brown.

Step 9

Let cool completely on the cookie sheets or on a cooling rack.

Step 10

Place the white chocolate into a microwave safe bowl.

Step 11

Melt the chocolate in 30 second increments in the microwave until the chocolate has melted.

Step 12

Dip the cookies into the white chocolate.

Step 13

Before the chocolate is set, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and top with edible rose petals. Let the chocolate dry, then serve
