Lavender Tea Cookies

- 15 minutes to make
- Serves 12
Sweet and flakey little cookies that are excelent with tea or great as a snack, made with the remarkable flavor of lavender
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp. dried lavender (flower buds) shopping list
- 1/3 cup sugar shopping list
- 1 cup butter or margarine, soft shopping list
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract shopping list
- 1/2 tsp. lemon flavoring (opt) shopping list
- 1 pinch of salt shopping list
- 2 cups all purpose flour shopping list
- 1/4 cup milk shopping list
- Extra sugar shopping list
How to make it
- If you have a mortar and pestle handy, grind the lavender with the sugar, otherwise just combine. Cream in butter with a fork. Cream in extracts.
- Add flour gradually and cream together. Your dough will resemble pie crust: crumbly when mixed with a fork, sticky with your fingers.
- Form dough into a large ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refridgerate for at least an hour, not much more than two and a half.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roll out your dough like pie crust, about 1/4 inch thick, and cut to desired shape and size. I use a shot glass top for a small round shape, which makes a few dozen cookies.
- For a sweet crispy top, use your finger (clean) to smear a little milk on top of each cookie and sprinkle with sugar. bake 12-15 minutes, until just starting to turn gold.
