Lavender Tea Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, very soft
2/3 cup superfine sugar (minus 1 tablespoon!)
1 egg, beaten
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (minus 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers, slightly ground with a mortar and pestle

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar together by hand.
Add egg and beat until well combined.
Stir in the flour and lavender flowers until well combined.
On a parchment lined cookie sheet, drop dough by tablespoon, spacing at least 3 inches apart, allowing for the cookie to spread out.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until pale golden brown and the edges tinge brown.
*They will be very soft until cooled on a wire rack. Store in an air-tight container; they are better the 2nd day, if they last that long.
