Lavender Shortbread.


My mom, Ziggy and I headed to the beach last weekend to enjoy the warmer weather. Another thing I love about the beach..? Having a full kitchen to make lavender shortbread cookies. Not only are these cookies delicious, but your kitchen smells divine as they bake in the oven.

Who knew you could eat lavender?!

Ingredients:
• 8oz butter, room temperature
• 2 cups flour
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup sugar (white)
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 tsp almond extract
• 1 tsp lavender
• 2 tbs sea salt
• 2 tbs sugar (turbinado)

Directions:
Using mixer, mix flour, butter, sugar (white), and salt. Add vanilla & almond extract and lavender, mix until fluffy. Roll dough into circular or square logs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm. Slice dough 1/8" thin and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and sugar (turbinado). Bake 325° for 15 to 20 minutes.
