A rosette is a thin, cookie like deep fried pastry of Scandinavian origin.

Rosettes are traditionally made during Christmas time.

They are made using intricately designed irons. The iron is heated to a very high temperature in oil, dipped into the batter, then reimmersed in the hot oil to create a crisp shell around the metal.

The iron is immediately removed and the rosette is separated from the iron. Usually, the edges of the rosette are dipped into frosting or sugar.

Rosette recipes are popular in the United States among families with Scandinavian ancestry.

    This is an excellent tip Marilyn. I remember my son used to make peanut butter cookies and when he removed them from the oven he would press them down with a fork to form a pattern. I will definitely tweet and pin!

    I have used custard cups or the bottom of a cupcake pan to make the shape of a bowl for parmesan crisps but never thought about doing this for a cookie. There are so many fun things you could use this for, dips, or individual desserts come to mind! How fun!

    We tried this once with pizzelles but we didn’t have the right shaped bowl—but a wooden spoon handle could be interesting!!! And I totally agree with Gigi– cookies sound so good right now (this is why I don’t read the food blogs—ha ha!!)

    Wow, that’s amazing! So…by batter cookies, you mean sugar cookies, chocolate chip, that kind of thing? I have to try this someday! My tip is one NOT to do- when making a cookie crust for a fruit pizza, do NOT use a rimless pan. The cookie dough will spread out as it bakes, and drip right off the edges onto the heating elements and cause a fire. At least that’s my personal experience. 😉 Thanks for adding this to the Family Joy linky party!
