Lavender Sugar Cookies

 

A sweet little sugar cookie that is as pleasing to the eye as it is

to the palate.

 

5/8 cup butter

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon dried Angustifolia lavender flowers (Crushed well)

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup of granulated sugar

1 teaspoon of crushed dried or 2 teaspoons of crushed fresh

Angustifolia lavender flowers

 

Preheat oven to 350º F.

 

Cream the butter and 1/2 cup sugar together.

 

Stir in the beaten egg.

 

Mix the tablespoon of dried crushed lavender and flour together and

add to the sugar blend.

 

Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheets. Bake 15-20 minutes

or until golden.

 

While still warm, stir the 1 or 2 teaspoons of fresh or dried

lavender flowers with the 1/4 cup of sugar and sprinkle on top of

cookies.

 

Quick Tip: You can shortcut this recipe by making the lavender sugar

in advance. Then purchase plain sugar cookies from the refrigerated

section in your grocery store. Just cut the cookies, bake according

to package directions, and add the lavender sugar when warm from the

oven. A tasty gourmet cookie in half the time!
