Lavender Butter Cookies!

I found this recipe online and thought it was so yummy…

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup shortening

  • 1-1/4 cups sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2-3 teaspoons dried lavender flowers **Be sure to use English buds only. French are too strong!)

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

    Directions

    • Preheat oven to 375°. Cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, lavender, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.

    • Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto baking sheets lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes before removing to wire racks. Store in an airtight container.
