Lavender Mint Shortbread
| Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups (3/4 pound) butter, at room temperature (no substitutes) 2/3 cup sugar 2 tablespoons finely chopped lavender florets (fresh or dried) 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint 2 cups flour 1/4 teaspoon salt |
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Cream together the butter, sugar, lavender, and mint with an electric mixer. Mix until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add flourand salt. Divide dough in half. Roll into 'logs' wrapped in plastic. Chill until firm.
Cut the dough into 1 1/2 -inch circles. Transfer to baking sheets, spacing cookies about 1 inch apart. Prick each cookie one or two times with a fork.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes until pale golden (do not brown). Cool slightly, then transfer to a rack.
Makes about 4 dozen.

I say if you can't go to the day spa, just eat a few of these:
Salt & Sugar for an exfoliating scrub. Mint for invigorating...(Body) Butter for a rich moisturizing treatment, and Lavender for relaxation and calming...
Enjoy!
