\u201cSay it with flowers.\u201d Say it even better with flower-pressed cookies. Loria Stern created the original Flower Pressed Shortbread Cookie, each one uniquely designed with handpicked edible flowers and herbs pressed into shortbread.<\/p>\n

The cookies were a natural evolution of Loria\u2019s varied interests. In her youth, Loria was on her way to becoming a professional tennis player. The importance of her health led her to a burgeoning interest in the medicinal properties of plants. While still a teen, she left tennis and followed in the footsteps of her artistic family by pursuing an education in the visual arts. She was talented and successful.<\/p>\n

As an adult, she lived in a cottage on a California estate with grounds an exuberant display of wildflowers as far as the eye could see. Her interest in plants was revived, and she attended a class in Medicinal and Edible Plants. At the time, she was exploring the culinary arts as a pastry chef. At first, she decorated her pastries with flowers. Then she discovered the best ways to extract the most flavor and the brightest colors from the flowers and applied them to the unbaked cookies. Through experimentation, she learned that some flowers wilt under any heat, some lose color and create an appealing nostalgic, faded look; and with others, the heat make the colors brighten and intensify.<\/p>\n

Then an opportunity appeared. A friend was having a party with a \u201cFlower Power\u201d theme in honor of Georgia O\u2019Keeffe. Perfect for the visual artist-amateur botanist-pastry chef to introduce her flower-pressed cookies.<\/p>\n

Time to Make the Cookies<\/h3>\n

Loria insists on only the finest natural ingredients: organic flour, cane sugar, butter, eggs, salt, vanilla chocolate, and edible flowers and herbs. The edible flowers include violas, calendulas, bachelor buttons, nasturtiums, lavender and chamomile. All ingredients are sourced locally, and Loria harvests some flowers from her own garden.<\/p>\n

Each cookie (about the size of a silver dollar) is handmade with the utmost love and care.<\/p>\n
