Lavender Shortbread Cookies

   

Do you grow Lavender or have access to grab some fresh Lavender? Go make these sweet treats! You could use dried as well, we happened to have fresh so we used that. If you'd like it more "Lavender" taste you could increase the amount in the cookies. Up to you! You'll only be using the petals/flower parts not the stalks.

Also go on and make some Honey Lavender Lemondade!
Mix together honey, laveneder stalks, and one squeezed lemon into water and chill!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup butter, softened* <- Learn how to make Butter HERE
  • 1/2 cup sugar (preferred organic cane sugar)
  • 1 Tablespoon Lavender Petals/Flowers only
  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 pinch salt

I use Stainless Steel Cookie Cutters that have no molded ridges (Where the steel got put together, makes it easier to clean and no areas to rust) My exact set I could not find to share with you but this one looks very comparable to what I use!

You could use any size cookie cutter you have for these and the Lavender Cookie's I used the 2 1/4" cutters

 

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Place butter and sugar together with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. (using a stand mixer preferred)
  • Add Lavender petals and beat to incorporate.
  • Gradually add flour and salt, beating to incorporate fully. Dough will be crumbly at first, but it will start to come together.
  • Once all the flour is added, beat on low another minute or so. Then knead gently with your hands until the dough comes together.
  • Roll cookies out and cut out with your favorite cookie cutters.
  • Bake cookies at 325 for about 20 to 25 minutes, until they begin to brown on the bottoms and are fully cooked on the top. Be careful NOT to overbake.
  • Remove to a cooling rack and allow them to cool completely. Enjoy!
