Lavender Lemon Shortbread

Lavender Lemon Shortbread is a delicious treat any time of year.   Easy to make, and excellent with your favorite tea  or lemonade.

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

¾ cup sugar (regular granulated)

¼ cup lavender sugar (see our post on how to make lavender sugar)

2 teaspoons grated lemon zest

¼ teaspoon salt

3 cups cake flour

Preheat oven to 325 F.  Beat butter, sugars and lemon zest with an electric mixer until just blended – do not over-beat.  Stir in flour and salt, beating just until blended.  Press dough firmly into a 10-inch pie plate.  Score the dough into wedges, and then bake until golden brown, about 25-35 minutes.  Cool for several minutes, and then cut the wedges again.  Let shortbread cool completely before removing from pan.   Enjoy!
