LAVENDER SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Prepare an 8-inch square baking pan by lining it with aluminum foil and coating the foil lightly with a vegetable oil spray.
• Cream the butter until light and fluffy.
• Stir in the sugar, lavender, spearmint and cinnamon.
• Work in the flour and blend until the mixture is crumbly.
• Scrape it into the prepared pan and spread until level, pressing lightly to compact it evenly.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
• Gently lift both the foil and shortbread out of the pan onto a cutting surface.
• Slice the bars with a serrated knife.
• transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store in a tightly sealed tin.
