I am in love with these pretty little rose cookies and honestly couldn’t wait to share them with you.

While these pink flower cookies may look fancy shmancy, don’t be fooled. They are actually quite easy to create, just like our decorated unicorn cookies.

The key element to these cookies is the beautiful pink buttercream icing, which is as delicious as it is beautiful.

The green fondant leaves give the flowers a little pop of color that compliments the pink buttercream icing so perfectly.

How to Decorate Rose Cookies

Decorated Rose Cookie Ingredients and Supplies

Start with a dozen of your favorite sugar cookies, each about 1.5 in wide. Be sure to allow the cookies to cool fully before decorating.

You will also need the following ingredients and supplies:

  • unsalted butter, softened
  • powdered sugar
  • milk
  • red gel food coloring
  • green fondant
  • piping bag with star tip
  • toothpick

Prepare the buttercream icing by beating butter, powdered sugar, and milk. Begin on medium speed then increase to high speed.

Use green fondant to make 12 small spheres, and another 12 that are slightly smaller. Flatten each sphere out slightly and form a point at one of it’s ends.

Use a toothpick to score lines on each leaf to give them a more realistic leaf look and texture.
