Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat of oven to 325* F.
  • In the bowl of a mixer, beat butter, sugar, lavender and salt until light and fluffy. Add the flour and cornstarch and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Don't over-mix.
  • Divide the dough in half. Flatten into squares and wrap in plastic. Chill dough until firm.
  • On a floured board, roll or pat out dough to a thickness between 1/4 and 1/2 inch. Cut the dough into rectangles, pricking each rectangle with the tines of a fork several times. Or use a floured mold or cookie cutter. Chill again cut dough about 15 minutes so shortbread will hold its shape when baked.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until pale golden (do not brown). Cool slightly, then transfer to a rack.
  • Makes about 4 dozen. (Recipe can be halved)
