Should the rose petals be removed after steeping in butter?

Question

Or should the rose petals be left in?

Miss_Karen · Answer

You could grind the petals in a spice mill or coffee grinder. Then, the petals will just show up as flecks.

I personally wouldn't bother removing the rose petals. I would expect them to mostly disintegrate during the dough mixing.

Nancy · Answer

Agree.
But/and. If I had enough rose petals, I would set some aside to scatter on a platter of the cookies, when serving as a dessert or part of a buffet...to indicate the flavor in the rose butter, for color contrast and general festivity.

It doesn't SAY to take them out, but I would.  Seems like chomping an actual rose petal would be not so subtle 😳
