Everyone loves this recipe! Tender, buttery, and fragrant, they're perfect with a hot cup of tea. It is important to use culinary lavender because any others may be treated with chemical scents or pesticides.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This lavender shortbread is a unique dessert. It has the butteriness and texture of Scottish shortbread with a mild lavender flavor. After being baked, the longer the shortbread sits more lavender flavor develops and the texture becomes more crumbly. The aroma while these were baking was so pleasant and relaxing... almost as much so as enjoying the cookies themselves.
