Time 1h40m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ½ cups butter, softened
⅔ cup white sugar
¼ cup sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh lavender
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cream together the butter, white sugar and confectioners' sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the lavender, mint and lemon zest. Combine the flour, cornstarch and salt; mix into the batter until well blended. Divide dough into two balls, wrap in plastic wrap and flatten to about 1inch thick. Refrigerate until firm, about 1hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Cookie stamps will work well on these too. Place on cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, just until cookies begin to brown at the edges. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor and texture of your cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. This will help them bake evenly without burning.
  • Watch the cookies carefully while they are baking. They can burn quickly, so it's important to take them out of the oven as soon as they are done.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

Lavender shortbread cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a simple snack to a special dessert. With their delicate flavor and crumbly texture, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
