Rose Cookies

I love this recipe, the cookies are light and yummy :)

225g (8 oz) Butter, softened
225g (8 oz) Caster Sugar
1 Large Egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp Rose Water (I put in 2 tbsp)
280g (10 oz) Plain Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
pinch of salt

Icing:
250g (9 oz) Icing Sugar
2 tsp Plain Flour
2 tsp Rose Water
pink food coloring

Step 1 -> Put butter and sugar in to bowl, and mix well. Then beat in egg and rose water. Sift flour, baking powder and pinch of salt into mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Shape into a log, wrap in cling film and chill in fridge for 1-2 hours.
Step 2 -> Pre-heat oven to gas 5 and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
Step 3 -> Unwrap the dough and cut into thin sliced with a sharp serrated knife. Put the slices on the baking tray, well spaced apart and bake for 10-12 min or until light golden. Leave cookies to cool, and carefully transfer on to wire rack to cool completely.

To make icing:
-> Sift icing sugar into bowl, add flour and sufficient rose water to make a smooth, easy-to-spread icing. Stir in a few drops of pink coloring, to a light pinky color.

Leave cookies on racks, gently spread icing over them and leave to set
