I am a wedding and event planner, writes field editor Glenna Tooman of Boise, Idaho. One of my brides served these unusual bookies at her reception, and I had to have the recipe. You can guess what her wedding color was! Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1-1/4 cups sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
2-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
4 teaspoons dried lavender flowers |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream the shortening, butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in extracts. Combine the flour, lavender, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
2. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto baking sheets lightly coated with cooking spray.
3. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 7 dozen.
