Roses are considered Hrdaya in Ayurveda, which means they are calming for the physical and emotional heart. Pairing rose with the fragrant, soothing, and alleviating green cardamom helps heal the heart and elevates the soul. The use of almond and coconut flour adds a cooling component, making these cookies the perfect treat on a hot summer day.
