These precious little sandwich cookies are as delicious as they are pretty. It may seem like a lot of rose water in the filling, but don't worry – it only adds a hint of floral flavour. Be sure to add the liquid to the icing slowly and gradually so that it doesn't separate. Use a pretty fluted cookie cutter to make these stand out on your cookie tray.
