Rosette cookies always make me think of Christmas as a kid when my Grandma Kae would unwrap her giant platter of an assortment of homemade cookies. The Rosettes were always the first cookies to go. I never thought of them to be a Halloween cookie, until now. How thrilled was I to find both Christmas and Halloween Rosette Irons?!
thrilled.
Thrilled if you dig words like: deep, fat, fried, crispy, and sugary. Uh-huh.
Rosette making is a tricky thing, the temperature of the oil has to be just right, the irons have to be hot from the oil each time you dip it into the batter. For the batter, I used this recipe, and I found these hints to be helpful.
These cookies freeze really well too.
You can see a bunch more Rosette iron shapes here.
I’m curious, have you had or made Rosettes before?

Not gonna lie… I have never even HEARD of Rosette cookies!
*Blush.
It looks very interesting, intricate and enticing all at once! Thanks for exposing my sheltered life
Those are so cool. I have one of those around here somewhere. I think my mom gave it to me and I don't think I've ever used it. That is sad, isn't it?
I didn't know you could get Halloween tips for those. That is awesome!
XOOX

I have never made them. And I always wondered how you did it.
I am always amazed when I come to your blog. You are probably one of the most inventive people I know.
This is my first time hearing of them too! They look SO good.
Thank you for sharing these, and now I need to go order some. The open snowflake is so stinkin' cute!
Likewise, I'd never heard of these. I'm very impressed! (And I might have licked my screen, hoping for a taste.)
Kami,
Those are fantastic. The spiders are especially amazing. Wow! I haven't seen rosettes in years let alone in Halloween designs.
Very Nice!
I thought you left me some, but I couldn't find them??? Did Dad eat them all before I saw them? HMMM
I've eaten the cookies before but never made any. Those are adorable!!
I'm from a super Norwegian town in the midwest and I have had and made Rosettes before. They are super tricky, that I remember. We also love lefse, rommegrot, krumkake, and varme polse. Mmmmmmm. Now I am missing home!
I've never heard of those before! But I'm thinking it's time to try one. YUM. And so cute too.
I don't feel so bad admitting that I had not heard of them either! They do look yummy.
I've seen these, but never knew how you made them. YUM!
I have learned something new today and am now going back to bed.
thanks!
I've never seen any thing like this. Never even seen a cookie like this let alone eaten one. I must confess that when I first saw the blog post title, I wondered rosette iron? Is that a special type of iron? With little roses glued on? Haha! So glad you shared!
I have never made them and I am pretty sure I have never eaten them either. However, you have peaked my curiosity. They look delicious!
That is ridiculously awesome!
I've never heard of them either, but they look delightful and tasty.
I LOVE these, so very cool!
I think I had one once, but didn't know what it's name was. I had completely forgotten about them until now. Maybe that's a good thing because I think I'd eat too many of them.
Those look way fun! I want to try them out.
Stop it!!!! These were my favorite. I think my mom has some in her basement. I'm going to raid it next time I'm up there!!! Who doesn't love sugar, grease, and deep fried?
Did you find those thrifting? Which thrift shops are you hitting up?
I have never tried these but they look yummy and fun to make too.
These. are. awesome!
We used to make these all the time growing up. I haven't had them in forever, though. We had various snowflake shapes so we only ate them in the winter, I believe.
That looks awesome! I have never made rosettes… the closest thing I can imagine it is like is funnel cakes. Bat and spider shaped funnel cakes. Which is AMAZING!
