Ingredients

The following ingredients have 24 Servings
  • 2 tsp dried lavender
  • 3/4 pound salted butter (at room temperature)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 17.5 ounces by weight all purpose flour ((3.5 cups measured))

Instruction

  • Grind the lavender up very finely using a mortar and pestle, until it is almost a powder.*
  • In a stand mixer** fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, sugar, and lavender powder until combined and spread around the bowl.
  • Add the vanilla and mix just until it disappears.
  • Add flour to the bowl, and mix together until a dough ball forms.
  • Roll the dough out on a baking mat about 1/2" thick, then cut desired shapes. Squares, rectangles, and circles all work well. 
  • Place the cookies on a sheet tray, and refrigerate for 1 hour, until cold and firm to the touch.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes, until the cookies are lightly golden brown on the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool to room temperature, and enjoy!
