They came out soft in the middle and just slightly crisp at the edges. I shared them with friends, and everyone kept asking for the recipe.

📝 Ingredients

Here’s what you need to make these floral-scented cookies that are sweet, chewy, and simply irresistible!

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour – Measure carefully; too much flour makes cookies dense instead of soft.
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda – Helps create a chewy interior and slight spread.
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder – Adds lift so cookies bake evenly.
• 1/2 cup salted butter, softened – Room-temperature butter creams smoothly for perfect texture.
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar – Adds sweetness and helps cookies spread properly.
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed – Adds moisture and a mild caramel flavor.
• 1 large egg – Binds ingredients and keeps cookies tender.
• 1 teaspoon rose extract – Provides the delicate floral flavor; adjust based on taste preference.
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips – Classic choice, but dark or milk chocolate also works well.
• Rose chocolate chips (optional) – Decorative chocolate roses make cookies extra special.

Note: Several serving – this recipe yields about 24 cookies.

🧁 How to Make Rose Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe?

These cookies come together quickly and easily. Follow these steps carefully for soft, chewy, and beautifully flavored cookies. Each step builds flavor and texture for the best final result.

Prepare Your Baking Station

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Preparing everything ahead saves time later. This also ensures cookies bake evenly right away.

Whisk Dry Ingredients

Combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl. Mixing dry ingredients separately ensures even distribution. This step prevents uneven texture in cookies.

Cream Butter and Sugars

Beat softened butter with both sugars until fluffy and pale. Proper creaming adds air to dough. This step helps create soft and chewy cookies.

Add Egg and Rose Flavor

Mix in the egg and rose extract until smooth. Scrape down the bowl sides for even blending. The rose extract gives cookies their signature floral aroma.

Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients

Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture. Mix only until combined to avoid tough cookies. Overmixing makes cookies dense.

Fold in Chocolate Chips

Gently stir chocolate chips into the dough. Make sure chips distribute evenly. Every bite should contain chocolate goodness.

Shape Cookies

Scoop dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between them. Cookies spread slightly during baking. Uniform sizes ensure even cooking.

Bake to Perfection

Bake 8–10 minutes until edges turn lightly golden. Centers remain soft while cooling firms them slightly. Avoid overbaking for chewy texture.

Decorate With Roses

While cookies are still warm, press chocolate roses into the tops. Warm cookies help decorations stick. This step adds beautiful presentation.

Freeze Briefly

Place cookies in freezer for about 5 minutes. This sets decorations quickly. It also stops further melting.

Enjoy

Allow cookies to cool fully, then serve and enjoy. Soft texture and floral aroma make them irresistible. Perfect for sharing or gifting.
