Lavender Shortbread Cookies

These are some of the best shortbread cookies that I have ever tasted. But the key here is that you have to like lavender. If you've never tasted lavender, try it. However, if you've smelled lavender and just hate it, don't make these cookies.

I just love them. They have a faint essence of lavender and the taste is so subtle. Jorge, our condo manager, loves lavender and I really made them for him. He emailed me that they were delicious. Please try them even if you're a little bit unsure. You will be surprised at how delicious they are. This cookie would be a great gift for any friend.

I got this recipe from a cake decorating class I took with Nicholas Lodge. Scott, who made lunch for us ever day, made this cookie for a snack. I instantly said I needed this recipe. He was sweet enough to make a copy for me. So thank you Scott.

***Don't let this long recipe scare you, it's really easy. Make the dough in advance and freeze. Take it out of your freezer or refrigerator as you need it.
