4
dozen cookies
2 sticks unsalted
butter, room temperature
1 tsp French
lavender
½ cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Beat the butter, lavender and sugar
together with a paddle in the bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer until
smooth but not fluffy.
- Add the flour all at once and mix on low
speed until the flour is incorporated and begins to form the dough.
- Roll the dough out on a floured board
into two 8-inch logs that are 1 ½ round.
- Wrap the logs in plastic and chill for
at least 30 minutes.
- Cut the logs into ¼-inch slices and
place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
-
Bake the cookies for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a light sand
color. If they brown, they will be
over baked.
- Allow the shortbread to cool on the pan
for 5 minutes. Remove to a cookie
rack.
