lavender shortbread

These lemon lavender shortbread cookies are so delicious! They are like spring in a cookie, buttery, lemony, and slightly sweet. The lavender flavor really shines through!

Lemon Lavender Shortbread Cookies

Tbsp butter (softened (2 sticks minus 2 tbsp))

sugar

lemon juice

lemon

Tbsp all purpose flour

arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)

lavender flowers

salt

Cream together the butter and sugar, then add the egg yolk, lemon juice and lemon zest, and stir to combine. Then add the flour, arrowroot, dried lavender, and salt.

Stir everything together until the dough begins to hold together. Take it out of the bowl and form it into a log shape. Wrap the dough log in parchment paper, twisting the ends to help hold it together.

Put the dough in the fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes, or until firm. When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 300°F.

Slice the log into 1/4 inch rounds, then place the rounds on a parchment lined baking sheet, about an inch or so apart.

Bake for 25-30 minutes. Check them closely after 25 minutes, as they will start to brown pretty quickly. Take them out when only the edges just barely start to turn golden. The centers will still be fairly soft.

Let them cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. They will firm up as they cool.

This white chocolate lavender shortbread is a perfect slice and bake cookie! It is so light but rich and buttery at the same time - with a hint of floral flavor. Perfect for spring!

White Chocolate Lavender Shortbread

brown sugar

lavender

unsalted butter

vanilla extract, (plus more if needed)

all-purpose flour

white chocolate, (chopped)

egg egg

flaked salt, (for topping)

Stir together the sugars and lavender. You can do this ahead of time so it really flavors the sugar!

Place the cold butter in a stand mixer and beat on medium speed. Beat in the brown sugar and granulated sugar and beat on medium speed until combined, about 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in the vanilla extract until combined.

Beat in the flour until it is just combined. If it is still very floury, you can shake in a few drops of vanilla extract to bring it together! Beat in the white chocolate.

Remove the dough from the bowl and separate it into two pieces. Roll each piece in a log that is about 2 inches thick. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place about ½ cup coarse sugar on a plate.

After two hours, unroll the log. Brush it with the egg wash. Roll it through the coarse sugar so it sticks.

Slice the log into ½-inch slices. Slice down gently and if the white chocolate chunks break the dough apart, you can push the pieces back together. You want rounds on the baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, until they are slightly golden. Remove and sprinkle with a pinch of flaked salt. Let cool completely then serve!

Perfect for a garden party, lavender shortbread cookies feature delicate floral notes & vanilla frosting. Make lavender shortbread for a springtime treat.

Lavender Shortbread Cookies

Baker’s fine sugar

culinary edible dried lavender

organic unsalted butter,

vanilla frosting

Preheat the oven to 350?. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

To make the lavender sugar, place the sugar and 1 tablespoon of lavender flowers in a bowl. Mix together with a spoon and set aside.

Place the butter, powdered sugar, flour and 1 tablespoon of the lavender sugar in the bowl of a food processor and pulse until the dough comes together to form a ball.

Turn the dough out onto a floured worktop and roll to ¼-inch thickness. Cut into rounds using a 2-inch cookie cutter. Roll up the dough scraps and repeat until done. Place on the prepared baking sheets and place in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Remove from the freezer and sprinkle generously with lavender sugar. Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.

Remove and cool on a wire rack. When the cookies have cooled, divide them in two. Pipe the vanilla frosting on one cookie and top with the other. Sprinkle with a little more lavender sugar and serve.
