LORRIE’S LAVENDER HEART COOKIES

INGREDIENTS:

115g/4oz/1/2 cup butter/marg (+ 15ml/1Tbsp[this worked better for me])
90ml/6Tbsp caster sugar, plus extra for dusting
175g/6oz/11/2 cups plain flour, plus extra for dusting
30ml/3Tbsp fresh lavender florets OR
15ml/1Tbsp dried culinary lavender, roughly chopped (Rose Geranium leaves & flowers is a wonderful substitute for Lavender)

METHOD:

Pre heat oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.

Cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.

Stir in the flour and lavender and bring the mixture together in a soft ball.

Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface and stamp out about 18 cookies using a 5cm/2in heart shaped cutter.

Place on a heavy baking sheet and bake for about 10 mins, or until golden.

Leave the cookies standing for 5 mins, then transfer them carefully to a wire rack to cool.

Thanks for sharing Lorrie, they really do sound delicious!!! Err did you leave out anything perhaps??

Well....only that you can substitute the Lavender for any type of "Herbs' you like *wink*
