Enjoy
I'd never heard of Bath Tea and now I'm hooked. It only took 15 minutes to whip together and it was super cheap. It transformed my bath time into a luxurious spa treatment
Lavender Shortbread Cookies
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
2 tsp Dried Lavender
Zest of 1 lemon (the zest is the skin)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter (at room temp)
1/4 tsp salt
Coarse Sugar (optional)
Combine powdered sugar and softened butter mix until creamy
Add flour and salt
Add dried lavender and lemon zest until incorporated
Mix until just combined
Remove dough from food processor on a large piece of parchment paper
Gently form dough into a ball, dough will be sticky
Chill dough for at least 4 hours
When your ready to bake preheat oven to 375 degrees
Roll out dough to about 1/4 inch thick
Cut desired shape, I used a square cookie cutter
Sprinkle with coarse sugar (optional)
Bake for 13-15 minutes
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before serving
These cookies are scrumptious. I was a little nervous about adding lavender to my cookie batter but they turned out delicious.
That's all today folks,
I hope you are all enjoying craft week as much as I am. Tomorrow we are tackling bottle cap picture magnets. It's a cheap and easy project that will make any Mother's heart melt.
Blessings,
Mary
