Lavender Shortbread Cookies

Ingrients & Directions


1/2 c Butter, sweet; room temp
1/2 c Confectioners’ sugar
-unsifted
2 ts Dried lavender blossoms
1 ts Crushed dried spearmint
-leaves
1/8 ts Cinnamon
1 c Unsifted flour

Preheat oven to 325 F. Prepare an 8″ square baking pan by lining it with
aluminum foil and coating the foil lightly with a vegetable oil spray.

Cream the butter until light and fluffy. Stir in the sugar, lavender,
spearmint and cinnamon. Work in the flour and blend until the mixture is
crumbly. Scrape it into the prepared pan and spread until level, pressing
lightly to compact it evenly.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges. Gently
lift both the foil and shortbread out of the pan onto a cutting surface.
Slice the bars with a serrated knife. Transfer to a wire rack to cool
completely. Store in a tightly sealed tin.

Yield: 25 to 30 bars.

Lewandowski writes: “Try these light and delicate bars and enjoy the hint
of lavender and mint flavors.”
