Oh you read it right, I not only downloaded, but prepared a recipe from the ‘Vegan Yum Yum’ app.  Don’t make fun.  It could be cool.  After all, the recipe called for rosewater and I am  a sucker for anything rose.

The hunt for rosewater was a tad on the difficult side.  Fresh Market had orange blossom water, but had discontinued rosewater.  And Whole Foods…  I ended up finding it at Whole Foods, but not where one would expect.

Luckily I called ahead, because I would have never checked the Whole Body section for something that would soon be ingested.  And you better believe I fact checked the salesperson that told me rosewater was unavailable in the baking aisle.

It’s all good though, right?  I now have the ability to bake with a hint of rose, cleanse my face, and perfume myself and my home, all with the same product.

I cringed when I added the rosewater to the traditional baking aisle ingredients.

The verdict?  Undecided.  I didn’t love them, but I sure found myself making multiple trips to the kitchen to break off another piece.  Perhaps being the baker halted this cookie’s climb to my favorites list.
