1 cup butter 1/2 cup sugar a dash of salt 2 cups flour lavender sugar ( see below) Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the salt and flour. Mix with wooden spoon thoroughly. Chill the dough in fridge. Preheat oven to 350F. Form dough into small balls and roll in the sugar mix. Place on ungreased cookie sheets and bake 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on racks. Lavender Sugar Mix a cup of dried lavender blossoms with a cup of sugar. Keep mixing as you use, because it tends to separate while it sits.

Oh dear this one counts me out but I shall forward this to my daughter as it does sound lovely for the rest of my family but I cannot use this one due to the amount of sugar in this recipe.

I've been looking for this recipe for ages thank you! I love lavender and have always wanted to make biscuits from it. Sounds like you need a lot of lavender though, don't know if I'll even grow that much.
