Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 180 g flour
  • 1 tsp, leveled baking powder
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 90 g butter (soft)
  • 50 g sugar
  • 1 large egg(s), the yolk
  • 1 tbsp fresh lavender flowers

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 30 minutes

fine, crumbly biscuits

Preheat the oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cream the softened butter with the sugar until creamy, add the egg yolk and lavender blossoms, and stir in. Now stir in the flour mixture until crumbly. Continue kneading by hand until a dough forms. Divide the dough (this is how I always do it) and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 5mm. Using any sized heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts. Place them on the baking sheet with a spatula. Continue until all the dough is used up. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes; they should have a light golden color. Check them to make sure they are not overcooked. Remove and let stand briefly. Then, using a spatula, transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
