Lavender Honey Cookies

Lavender can be found in pillows, lotion, gelato, and now...cookies! This little blossom (which can be found in the spice section of Whole Foods) adds a great taste to short bread cookies. I baked these for a bridal shower and they can be made with gluten free all purpose flour and taste almost identical. Makes 12 cookies

Ingredients
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1.5 sticks butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp dried lavender blossoms
1 tsp vanilla
honey to drizzle on top

In a large bowl combine flour and salt
In a mixer combine sugar and lavender
Add butter and vanilla
Mix with a plastic paddle
Add flour mixture slowly

When mixed well, place dough on a piece of plastic wrap and cover with another
Use a rolling pin to flatten out dough
Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes

Meanwhile, place parchment paper (not wax paper) on a baking sheet
After the 30 minutes, cut the cookies into circle shapes
Place on the baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes
Preheat oven to 350 F
Cook for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through

Drizzle honey on top when they are cooling
