Recipe information-Lavender Shortbread with Lemon Curd Dip
25 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon dried lavender buds
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup lemon curd
Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the flour, dried lavender buds, and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes - traditional rounds or fun shapes, the choice is yours. Place the shortbread cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the shortbread is baking, warm up the lemon curd in a small saucepan over low heat. Once the shortbread cookies are done baking, let them cool for a few minutes before serving alongside the lemon curd dip.
