Lavender Shortbread Cookies |
contributed by Jenem Martín
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh lavender leaves*
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch-thick pieces, room temperature
Directions:
- Blend flour, sugar, lavender, and salt in a food processor. Add butter. Using on/off turns, process until dough comes together. Divide the dough in half and shape each into logs about 1 1/2 inches in diameter (or desired size). Roll in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Chill until the mixture is firm (about 30 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Cut each dough log into 1/3 to 1/2 inch-thick rounds and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes or until the edges become golden brown. Cool on a cookie rack.
* If you can't buy fresh lavender near you, it is easy to grow. If you don't have a green thumb, steal some from a neighbor's yard (and by steal we mean ask first, then give them some of the cookies you made).
yields about 32 small cookies
