French Lavender Sugar Cookies - CDKitchen.com

serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  1-2 hrs

ingredients

3 large hard-boiled egg yolks, crumbled
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cake flour
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried lavender florets

Glaze

1 large egg, beaten with
1/2 teaspoon salt

Rolling

1/3 cup sugar, PROCESSED WITH
2 teaspoons dried lavender florets

directions

Beat yolks, flours, sugars, butter, vanilla and salt in bowl of electric mixer set on low speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Mix in florets.

Separate dough into three sections. Wrap in plastic; chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Remove one-third of dough from refrigerator. Roll dough with about 2 tablespoons lavender sugar to uniform thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into rounds using 2-inch cookie cutter.

Place on baking sheet splashed sparsely with water (the resulting steam releases baked cookies very easily), leaving about 1 inch between each. Lightly brush each cookie with glaze.

Chill 10 minutes; bake until firm and lightly golden, about 7 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough and lavender sugar.

cook's notes

Edible flowers are safely purchased from specialty produce markets. Remember the lavender florets need to be removed and separated from the stem.
