Lavender Shortbread Cookies

Print Recipe

Delightful Lavender Shortbread Cookies offer a buttery flavor with floral notes, perfect for tea parties or gift-giving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
  • 2 teaspoons English Lavender Buds
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Begin by creaming the unsalted butter and icing sugar together in a mixing bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  2. Add the lavender buds, vanilla extract, and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually add in the cornstarch and mix until you have a smooth dough.
  4. Slowly add the all-purpose flour while mixing until everything comes together. You want a soft dough that isn’t too sticky.
  5. Once the dough is ready, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for about 45 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. After the dough has chilled, scoop out about one tablespoon of dough, roll it into balls, and place them on the prepared cookie sheets, ensuring they’re about one inch apart.
  8. Using a fork, gently press down on the tops of each cookie ball to create a pattern, dipping it in flour to prevent sticking if necessary.
  9. Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bottoms start to turn a light golden brown.
