Alexis Nikole Nelson Instagram – MAGNOLIA SNAP COOKIE SEASON IS UPON US FRIENDS!
… a secret? I have ANOTHER magnolia cookie recipe I’m testing rn 🤫 but have a throwback to the OG! I’m already having such a grand ol time seeing posts from folks who have made them in the past few weeks!
Saucer Magnolias (Magnolia x soulangeana) is a hybrid of Magnolia liliflora and Magnolia denudata, and is EXTREMELY common when it comes to horticulture usage! From a culinary standpoint, they’re gingery, floral, and a bit botanically bitter, which makes them so fun to cook with!
(No one tell Saucer than Southern Magnolia has my favorite flavor of all the magnolia flowers I’ve tried thus far 😅 Saucer is solidly in 3rd place… but is first in beauty and first in meaning spring is truly here!)
Measurements below if ya want em 🌸✨💖
My Thiccc Magnolia Syrup
1 cup water
1.5 cups sugar
