🔪 Instructions

Here’s how to make butter rosettes:

Start with room temperature butter.
Transfer the butter to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Hold the piping bag vertical.
Onto a small serving dish or parchment paper lined baking tray, squeeze the butter out into a dollop that’s about 1-2 inches wide.

For a fancier butter rosette, follow these steps:

Hold the bag straight up and down.
Pipe a small dollop of butter.
Then continue piping the dough in a circle around the center to create the rosette.

(This is similar to the way that you make buttercream rosettes.)

I have seen some people use their cookie press to make rosette butter in all sorts of shapes, but I haven’t tried it myself.

✏️ Make Ahead

To make butter rosettes ahead of time, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pipe the rosettes using a star tip. Refridgerate until ready to use.

🍲 Storage

To Store: Butter rosettes should be refrigerated until you’re ready to serve them. For best results, allow them to harden for 1 hour, then gently transfer them to an airtight container. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
