Lavender Shortbread Cookies with Lemon Lavender Glaze

1/7/2020

We love fun reasons to bake and National Shortbread Day gave us the perfect opportunity to create a little "summer" to our winter days. Lemon has the ability to lift your spirits and paired with the lavender makes you just make you smile! 

Make it easy with these Lavender Shortbread Cookies and the recipe below for lemon lavender glaze!

Well for those with inquiring minds who want to know how did such a day get reserved for these delightful cookies? According to National day calendar, the recipe for shortbread has been around since the 12th century when Mary, Queen of Scots created this buttery cookie. It earns the name from the crumbly texture or the crumb of the cookie which resembles a "short" (crumbly) texture...thus the name shortbread. The cookie was reserved for special occasions as the ingredients in the 12th century were expensive. Even now they are not expensive to make but still only occasionally made for special occasions. 

We love these cookies served alongside our Lavender Chamomile tea or Lavender Earl Grey  which  will make any day extraordinary!

Lemon Lavender Glaze

Make a batch of our Lavender Shortbread Cookies

While cookies are baking make Lemon Lavender Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
4-5 tsp lemon juice

Mix together powdered sugar, 1/2- 1 tsp culinary lavender and 4-5 tsp fresh lemon juice. We also like to add a little zest of lemon peel to add a bit more lemon flavor. Frost cookies once they are cooled.
