Why we love this recipe
In Ayurveda, roses are renowned for their cooling effect on the mind, body, and emotions. This delicious Rose Petal Cookie recipe calls for our Organic Rose Petal Spread, which has a cooling, soothing effect on the whole body.
Roses and Ayurveda
Roses are used widely in Ayurvedic formulas, teas, aromas, and cooking. Because they have a sweet, fragrant, floral taste and fragrance, roses are soothing and cooling to fiery Pitta dosha. They also balance Sadhaka Pitta, the subdosha of Pitta that governs the heart and emotions.
Favorite rose recipes
Rose is a signature ingredient in deliciously cooling desserts like our Organic Rose Halva. You can also use the petals in sauces (try this recipe for Rose Petal Sauce) or in beverages like Rose Petal Milk.
Our refreshing Rose Petal Thirst Quencher makes a great beverage for summertime, when temperatures soar and Pitta dosha predominates in the mind and body. Our Sweet Rose Petal Lassi is another great option. This probiotic beverage is made with yogurt (and is best consumed at lunchtime as a digestive aid). While you’re at it, dress up your greens with our Rose-Coconut Salad Dressing.
