Honey Lavender Shortbread

In a large bowl/mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and honey until light and fluffy. Add the flour, salt, and lavender and mix until combined. Place two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment on the counter and divide the dough in half between the sheets. Using the wrap, shape the dough into 2 logs that are approximately 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Shape the logs into squares if desired by pressing gently on the top with a cookie sheet to flatten the log slightly, then turning the log on its side and pressing again. Freeze for thirty minutes or refrigerate for 2+ hours, or until firm.

 

Preheat the oven to 325. Remove the dough from the fridge or freezer and slice it into 1/4 inch slices. Place 1-2 inches apart on a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
