Ingredients
- 12 oz. unsalted butter room temperature
- 2/3 cup sugar (4.6 ounces)
- 2 Tablespoons culinary lavender flowers very finely chopped
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (12 ounces) plus more for flouring the rolling pin and board.
- 1/2 cup cornstarch (2.2 ounces)
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat of oven to 325* F.
- In the bowl of a mixer, beat butter, sugar, lavender and salt until light and fluffy. Add the flour and cornstarch and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Don't over-mix.
- Divide the dough in half. Flatten into squares and wrap in plastic. Chill dough until firm.
- On a floured board, roll or pat out dough to a thickness between 1/4 and 1/2 inch. Cut the dough into rectangles, pricking each rectangle with the tines of a fork several times. Or use a floured mold or cookie cutter. Chill again cut dough about 15 minutes so shortbread will hold its shape when baked.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until pale golden (do not brown). Cool slightly, then transfer to a rack.
- Makes about 4 dozen. (Recipe can be halved)
