I love baking sweets during Holiday season and this little sweet & tart treat is a perfect explosion of flavors. Super easy, minimal bake time too.
if you have toddlers this is a quick and simple recipe they can help with.

2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup powdered blue butterfly pea(clitoria ternatea) & hibiscus(hibiscus sabdariffa) flowers
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar (+ additional for rolling)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (i used bourbon vanilla extract from Trader Joe"s)
1/4 teaspoon salt (kosher or himalayan work well)
instructions :
cream the butter & powdered sugar until light & fluffy, stir in vanilla until combined
in a separate bowl whisk sifted flour, cinnamon, salt & powdered herbs until well blended, add gradually to butter mixture
form dough into 1-1.25" balls & place onto parchment paper lined baking sheet
