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.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my cookies turned out really dry. I think I might have overbaked them.

I'm going to try making these cookies with different types of lavender. I bet they would be delicious with lemon lavender or orange lavender.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
