Dandelion Flower Cookies

Recipe #300617 | 23 min | 8 min prep | SERVES 12 , 24 cookies (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Mrs.R

As a kid, I spent countless hours picking dandelions and putting them in cups, leaving them on the kitchen counter as a surprise for my mom. Kids LOVE dandelions, after all, they are some of the only "flowers" they are allowed to pick whenever they will. I thought this sounded like a great project for kids, and can't wait to try these cookies at the first sight of these "flowers"! From what I've heard, these are NOT very sweet. Got this from learningherbs.com Prep time does not include picking dandelions!

    I haven't made this, but I'd like to say a word of caution: Make sure that the dandelions aren't from alongside a road, and that they don't have weed-killer or other chemicals sprayed on them.
