Lavender Biscuits

Prep 15 min · Cook 20 min · Serves 24 · Original recipe

🧾 Ingredients

Dairy

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg

Pantry & Dry Goods

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar, for dipping

Spices & Seasonings

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons dried #lavender buds
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

🔪 Instructions

1. In a large bowl, cream softened butter together with sugar and salt until light and fluffy.
2. Add vanilla extract and egg. Beat until incorporated.
3. Add flour and lavender buds. Mix until combined.
4. Divide dough into two and form into logs. Wrap dough in plastic wrap or parchment paper. Dough will be a little sticky and soft but will become solid once chilled.
5. Chill for an hour in the fridge.
6. Preheat oven to 300F (150C). Line two baking pans with parchment paper.
7. Remove chilled dough, unwrap, and cut into slices about 1/2 inch thick. Dip one side of each slice in sugar.
8. Place biscuits sugar side up on prepared pans, about 2 inches apart.
9. Bake for 20 minutes. Biscuits will look pale - resist baking them longer or they'll be too hard.
10. Place on wire rack to cool before serving and storing.

📝 Notes

• Use pesticide-free culinary lavender buds (available at tea shops or health food stores).
• If dough gets too soft while slicing, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
• Store in an airtight container up to a week.
• Dough can be frozen up to 3 months.
