Dandelion Shortbread Cookies

I continued on with making dandelion everything I could find online. Mica and Isaak rolled their eyes when I had them pick as many yellow flowers as they could. In my deep freezer I have a back stock of dandelion flowers.

Some recipes I added, or subtracted this or that.

Dandelion Shortbread Cookies did not disappoint. I was expecting the boys to put their nose up at me, instead they asked for a 2nd cookie.


What I added from the original recipe

Vanilla!

What I love about this recipe: 

There isn't a lot of ingredients. 
There is no need to frost them.



I love putting a tie on cookies. Seriously it takes something bland, and turns it into being cute!


Travis said that he couldn't even taste the dandelion. 

Why Add Dandelion?
  • Highly Nutritious
  • Contain Potent Antioxidants
  • May Help Fight Inflammation
  • May Aid Blood Sugar Control
  • May Reduce Cholesterol
  • May Lower Blood Pressure
  • May Promote a Healthy Liver
  • May Aid Weight Loss

They probably won't help with weight loss because of the flour and sugar, but at least you know it has that power.


What is your favorite type of cookie?

WW: A Raisin in the Sun {Linky}

Many, many weeks back my husband and I went to see A Raisin in the Sun at Omaha Community Playhouse. I went through my old work laptop, and found the images. I was so happy to have won tickets! A big thank you goes out to my ENT office on FB! I've won tickets to see two different shows through them.

They won't let you photograph the show because it's a huge distraction to the actors.


With everything going on in the news I thought it was a perfect week to post it.


Have you seen the play, or watched the movie?
