Amidst the screaming and chaos of dozens of children most likely penetrated by the full moon, lie a plate of fragrant lavender butter pillows that closed me off from the rest of the world, if only for a moment. A poet I am not, but a food connoisseur, possibly and this week my brief encounter with the most beautiful tasting shortbread cookies I may have possibly ever tasted is owed to my fried Arie, who has been kind enough to share!
Arie's Lavender Whipped Shortbread
The fragrance from these is amazing, but the flavour is very subtle.
1 cup unsalted butter (at room temp)
2 cups unbleached white flour
3/4 cup icing sugar
1 tbsp organic lavender blossoms
Cream butter & sugar together, add flour & blend. Once the flour is mixed in, turn your mixer on high & whip the shortbread for 10 minutes. Add the lavender & mix just until it is dispersed in the dough.
Drop by the teaspoon onto cookie sheets; bake at 325 for 8-12 minutes until just set.
