Floral Pressed Butter Cookies

Meet Floral Pressed Butter Cookies! If a cake seems like too much work than these cookies are a great alternative! They’re more low key, but still beautiful and would look great on any dessert table!

Also, no need to worry about the vanilla extract “deflating” the frothy egg whites since we’re not trying to make a meringue or anything. The added flavor is just a nice touch to the tops of each cookie, especially for anyone feeling a little weird about brushing egg whites onto cookies (although you won’t get an ‘eggy’ taste, I promise).
