LAVENDER SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Lavender Shortbread Cookies are as lovely as they come. They are full of buttery goodness, lightly sweet and have the best flavor and scent. This unique cookie is a winner.

 INGREDIENTS

– 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature – ½ cup powdered sugar – 2 teaspoons culinary lavender buds – ½ teaspoon vanilla extract – ¼ teaspoon salt – ½ cup cornstarch – 1 ½ cups all purpose flour plus a little extra for rolling – sanding sugar for topping

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and icing sugar until smooth.

Add the lavender buds, salt and vanilla. You can roughly chop the lavender if you would like a more fragrant cookie. Continue beating until the lavender is fully combined.

Slowly add a little bit of the flour and corn starch, alternating between the two, and beat until it starts to stick together, about 3 minutes.

Roll the dough on a floured surface until it is approximately a quarter of an inch thick.

Using a cookie cutter, cut out your desired shape and place on a pre-lined cooking sheet. Be sure to leave about an inch of space between them. Sprinkle the sanding sugar over the tops of the cookies.

Place the cookie sheet with the raw cookies in the fridge to cool a little while your oven is preheating. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake for 14-16 minutes or until the edges just start to brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 5-8 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
