Equipment
- A 5cm/2 inch heart shaped cookie cutter
- A lightly greased baking tray
Ingredients
- 115 g butter/vegan margarine
- 50 g caster sugar
- 175 g plain (all purpose) flour
- 1 tbsp dried lavender (or 2 tbsp fresh)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- Cream together the butter/margarine and sugar until pale and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract, lavender, flour, milk and bring the mixture together into a ball. Wrap in cling film and pop it into the fridge for 15 minutes to rest.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas Mark 6.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board and cut out your biscuits. Place on your baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until golden and that delicious smell is wafting around you.
- Leave to cool for 5 minutes on the tray then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely (if you can wait that long, they are yummy still warm!)
- Serve, sprinkled with sugar, a hot cup of tea and lots of love.
