LAVENDER SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Cream together butter, sugar, lavender and mint with a mixer until light and fluffy.
• Add flour, cornstarch and salt and beat until well mixed.
• Divide dough into two, flatten into discs, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.
• Roll out dough to 1/2" thickness on a floured board.
• Cut into 1 1/2" squares or into rounds.
• Bake 20-25 minutes on parchment covered cookie sheets, or until golden.
• Let cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
• When completely cool, dust with lavender-flavored powdered sugar (see recipe Lavender Sugar#71901 or Flavored Sugars#53926) or plain powdered sugar would be fine.
