Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Lavender Cookies 2 sticks unsalted butter or margarine, room temperature 1 cup superfine sugar 1/2 tsp. sea salt 2 free-range eggs, well beaten 2 tsp. vanilla extract 1 tsp. lavender buds 2-1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and salt until fluffy. Add the beaten eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Add in the flour and mix on low speed just until the dough is coming together. Sprinkle in the lavender buds and fold in gently. (don't over mix). Divide the dough into two mounds and wrap up well in plastic. Chill in the refrigerator for one hour at least. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Flour your work surface and unwrap the dough. Take half of it out and wrap up the other half to keep chilled in the fridge while you work. Roll out the dough with a floured rolling pin, taking care not to overwork or overstretch the tender dough. Cut out shapes of hearts, full moons, stars and crescents. Carefully move the cookie shapes to nonstick cookie sheets, placing them 1/2 inch apart, fitting as many as possible on each sheet. Bake, two sheets at a time, until the cookies are golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Use a thin spatula to move the hot cookies to a rack to cool. Store in an airtight container when cool. Makes about 3 dozen. Serving idea: Serve in the afternoon with cold, fresh lemonade or iced tea with mint springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 Merry Meet, I have tried to use this recipe unsuccessfully,twice.There is way too much butter in it..Even after refrigerating the dough your cookies basically melt into a sugary mess as they bake.. Just thought I'd pass that along.. Be Blessed,Be Powerful, ~Lady Falconfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 17, 2004 Report Share Posted July 17, 2004 I have a simple cookie recipe using cake mix and rice crispies. I add lavender to this and it makes a wonderful cookie. Have also made them with basil which is good also. Anyone interested, I'll be glad to share the recipe. Eunice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
