Step-by-Step Instructions for Honey, Hibiscus & Viola Cookies
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened butter and ½ cup of honey using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, followed by 2 tablespoons of hibiscus powder, stirring until a dough forms.
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, flattening slightly.
- Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and place it in the oven.
- Bake the cookies for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
- Prepare icing by whisking icing sugar and a bit of water until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over the cookies and decorate with viola flowers.

Notes
Ensure butter is fully softened for the best texture. Chilling the dough is important for shape retention while baking. Use high-quality ingredients for maximum flavor and visual appeal.
