Description
Lemon and lavender are classic additions to shortbread because their crisp aromas provide a counterpoint to rich, buttery cookies. Our version is not too sweet with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and is finished with a simple lemon glaze and a flourish of lavender — perfect for afternoon tea or an elegant dessert.Notes: Use a metal, glass, or ceramic baking pan; the total bake time may be slightly shorter with a metal pan. Scoring the bars partway through baking makes them much easier to cut nicely. Don't skip the finishing glaze and lavender — it's a beautiful presentation (and it won't be too much lavender, promise). The cookies are ready to serve once the glaze is dry, but their flavor improves after a night's rest in an air-tight container. They keep well for a week, stored at room temperature.
