Lemon Lavender Shortbread


Yesterday I made lemon lavender shortbread biscuits. The flavour is more delicate and aromatic than bitter and floral. To make them, add the zest of one lemon or grated lemon peel from one lemon and lavender buds to the dough. You can adjust the amounts according to taste. I also added granules of white sugar on top to give them a hint of sweetness. Also I like how the sugar mimics twinkling frosty snow. I quite enjoy them with tea which is how I am enjoying them right now. Have a good weekend everyone!
