Saffron Cookies Recipe - Food.com image

I created this recipe due to my love of saffron and cookies! A tender cleanly sweet cookie that lets the delicate saffron flavor sing through. The longer you can soak the saffron in milk before-hand the better the flavor! (Prep time includes chill time).

Total Time 57 minutes

Prep Time 45 minutes

Cook Time 12 minutes

Yield 24 cookies, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons milk, slightly warmed
1/4 teaspoon a pinch saffron strand, slightly crushed
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup slivered almonds (optional) or 1 cup chopped cashews (optional)

Steps:

  • In a little bowl warm the milk and add the saffron strands, slightly crushing them. Set aside and let steep, the longer the better. This can be done several hours before-hand. The saffron will turn the milk a lovely sunny yellow.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Sift or whisk flour, baking soda and salt together; set aside.
  • Beat butter until softened. Slowly add sugars and beat well until mixture slightly increases in volume.
  • In a small bowl mix together saffron mixture, egg and vanilla. Add egg mixture to butter mixture and beat, scraping down bowl as needed.
  • Add flour mixture to butter mixture gradually, stirring until flour is incorporated. Stir in optional mix-ins if using.
  • Chill until firm (30-45 minute up to overnight) or be lazy and stick in the freezer for 15 minute like me.
  • Drop by mounded tablespoonfuls onto baking sheet and bake 12-14 minutes. Let rest on baking sheet for a couple of minutes then transfer to wire racks to cool.
