Lavender Shortbread for Christmas
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
- ½ cup cornstarch
- 1 cup Icing Sugar
- 1 lb butter softened
- 1 tbsp Lavender Buds chopped
Instructions
- Cream butter until smooth. Add sugar and work together until creamy.
- Sift cornstarch and flour together (very important for a light shortbread).
- Use an electric mixer to whip ingredients together until fluffy. Gradually add the chopped lavender buds. Note: The dough is ready when the mixture breaks – beat for quite a long time.
- Drop by the teaspoon, or a cookie spritzer, onto a baking sheet.
- Bake at 325°F until light brown, about 10 – 15 minutes.
