Method :
Beat butter
until creamy. Add icing sugar gradually and beat until pale yellow. Add
sieved flour mixture and chopped lavender. Knead into dough. Flatten
with your palm and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Preheat oven to 190C
for about 15 minutes. Grease a baking tray and set aside. Take out the
dough. Roll it to a thickness of 3mm with a rolling pin. Cut out cookies
with your favorite cutters. Arrange cookies on a baking tray. Bake in
an oven for about 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of cookies). Take
out the cookies and leave them to cool on rack. Stir the icing mixture
well. Brush icing on the cookies thinly. Sprinkle multi colored candy
bits on top. Serve immediately.
Believed to
be relaxing and calming in nature, the lavender biscuits packed in your
own way make romantic gifts that smell great too.
