Lavender Shortbread a Sweet Provencal Treat

Lavender Shortbread

Okanagan Lavender & Herb Farm
Gram's shortbread is a definite favourite around our house; light, fluffy, and oh so delicious. Of course, it might have something to do with the pound of butter, but it's worth it!

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 cups Flour

  • 1 cup Icing Sugar
