Pressed Flower Shortbread Cookies

Loria Stern's Signature Cookies Boast Hand-Picked Edible Flowers

— May 7, 2020 — Lifestyle
Baker Loria Stern is the creative force behind these delicious and visually striking Flower Pressed Shortbread Cookies.

The treats are Stern's signature cookie and are each made with handpicked edible herbs and flowers. Each is organic and locally sourced from either the baker's own garden in Montecito or California-based farmers markets. Featuring a vanilla shortbread base, these treats are accented with hand-pressed edible flowers, each different than the last and each boasting a different shape and hue.

With Instagram-friendly baking at an all-time high due to social distancing efforts -- a safety measure during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic -- artisan bakeries are inspiring fans to recreate their very own edible artwork at home. These pressed flower shortbread cookies stay fresh for up to three weeks and are available for delivery across the United States.
