Rose Cookies Recipe – Rose De Coque Recipe | Goan Christmas Sweets Recipe

Rose Cookies

What are Rose Cookies? They are deep fried pastry made with the help of designed cast iron mould. Some are dipped in icing sugar post frying and some are made with sugar. My hubby loves them like anything this is one sweet which he loves a lot. Since Christmas is around the corner thought of sharing this post.

In fact Christmas preps has started in our house already with all the sweets I am making :)…  To make Rose Cookies is an art which you will only master after making several times. Firstly it’s important to follow the recipe to the tee. Secondly grease the cast iron flowered designed mould with oil. Before frying immerse the mould into the hot oil for a minute then dip half way in the batter immediately immerse in hot oil. Now gently shake the mould the cookie should slide away easily. Repeat the same process with rest of batter.

To make rose cookies one has to be patient and handle tactfully. Smart way would be to place two pans with oil one for immersing the mould and the other for frying. Ensure you don’t fry more than one or two each at a time. Also the color should be light brown. Check they are fried from both sides firstly they would be soft later they should be crisp once cool down. Allow to come down to room temperature and then store into an airtight container. This should last for more than a week. However this cookies get over soon hence not much a problem of storage.

How to make rose cookies recipe:

1. Take two different deep frying pans one with 4 cups oil and other one with 1/2 cup oil. Place one with more oil on medium heat high and the one with less oil on high heat. Immerse the rose cookie iron cast flower mould in the second pan with 1/2 cup hot oil.

Notes
Ensure you fry the cookie on medium heat else they might burn.
It's important to immerse the mould in hot oil else the batter won't stick.
If the cookie if not sliding from the mould don't panic remove separately with the help of knife. Again reheat the mould.
I have added less sugar you could add more as per your preference.
If your batter is too thick add more coconut milk if it's too thin add more of refined flour.

    Hi… i have made these rose cookies, they came out fine. But i had to add a lot more coconut milk. For the amount of flours its way to less of coconut milk. Kindly mention the exact amount required.

      Rashmi the coconut milk proportion may differ as sometimes the batter may require less or more of coconut milk. Also depends on the thickness of coconut milk and the quantity and size of eggs used may differ. Hope this information helps you, thanks.
