Sweet Wine Lavender Cookies

[Guest guest]

Sweet Wine Lavender Cookies

 

1 cup plus 1 1/2 tbsps. all-purpose flour

1/3 cup lavender sugar (recipe below)

pinch of salt

4 tbsps. butter

2 1/2 tbsps. sweet white wine

12 leaves of fresh lavender, chopped finely

(ground dried works fine)

 

Sift the flour, all but 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and

the salt into a bowl. Rub in the butter until the

mixture resembles bread crumbs. Mix a well in the

center and add the wine and the lavender leaves and

stir in gently. Leave the mixture for 10 minutes,

stirring now and again, by which time it will have

bonded together, then gather together to make a soft

dough.

Roll out the dough on a floured board about 1/8 inch

thick and use a serated pasta wheel to cut out small

strips, about 2 inches by 1 inch. Place on a buttered

baking tray, giving one half of each strip a twist, as

you do so to make the cookies look just like little

bows. Bake at 375 degrees F for about 6 to 8 minutes

or until edges are just turning brown. Cool on a wire

rack and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.

Lavender Sugar:

Mix 2 tablespoons of spikes of fresh lavender flowers

or 1 tablespoon of dried lavender flowers with 1 cup

of superfine sugar. Select a glass jar and make

alternate layers of sugar and lavender flowers until

the jar is full. Cover tightly and leave in a warm,

dry room for 1 to 2 weeks. Shake the jar through a

sieve before use. This method is similar to the

conventional method you use to make vanilla sugar.

 

Open up o world and let me in,

then there’ll be a new life to begin

I have dreamt of an open world,

Borderless and wide

Where the people move from place to place

And nobody’s taking sides
