Lavender Shortbread Cookies
As promised to all of my friends I will post the recipe for the lovely lavender shortbread cookies. The recipe is very simple! All you need are a few items which you can usually find in every household. In addition you need culinary lavender.
1 cup softened butter
2/3 cup confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
3 tablespoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons culinary lavender
Roll the dough between two layers of plastic wrap to a desirable thickness. Place the prepared dough then into the freezer for 10-15 minutes. The dough is more manageable when hardened and it seems to be by far easier then to use your cookie cutters.
Bake at 375 F for 13-15 minutes.
Place cookies onto racks for them to cool down.
Recipe yields approximately 60 cookies.
The cookies are very delicious with a good cup of Earl Grey tea. The bergamot essential oil in the tea balances the lavender in the cookies very nicely.
Happy baking!
