Lavender and Lemon Shortbread

By Amber Miller

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup butter
• 2 1/2 tsp fresh lavender (I used Royal Velvet Lavender--use after the flowers bloom, but pick out the flower first)
  
• 1 tsp Lemon extract
• 2 tsp walnut oil
  

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Blend all ingredients well. Add lavender last.
   
3. Press into a 9 x 9 inch buttered dish.
   
4. Bake until pale golden brown on the edges, about 22 minutes. Cool completely and cut into squares.
