These Lavender Shortbread Cookies are light, elegant, and just the right amount of floral—making them perfect for brunches, tea parties, or a moment of calm with your morning coffee.
Why Lavender + Shortbread Works So Well:
Lavender’s soft, herbal-floral notes pair beautifully with the richness of butter and the delicate sweetness of sugar. Culinary Lavender offers a refined twist that turns a simple cookie into a sensory experience. With a touch of vanilla and an optional splash of Lavender Simple Syrup, this recipe is delicately fragrant without being overpowering.

Tips for Making Perfect Lavender Shortbread:
-
Use softened butter for the best texture—it should cream easily with the sugar.
-
Chill your dough to help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
-
Want extra lavender aroma? Gently crush the lavender buds before adding them.
-
Try cutting them into floral shapes or hearts for a charming touch.
Serving Ideas:
These cookies shine when served with a cup of earl grey, lavender chamomile, or even coffee with a splash of our Honey Lavender Syrup. Add a little edible glitter or a drizzle of white chocolate for a festive twist.
Why Use Culinary Lavender?
Unlike ornamental lavender, Culinary Lavender is safe to eat and carefully prepared to preserve its delicate flavor. It brings a floral brightness without the bitterness some people associate with lavender. When used right—like in these cookies—it’s truly magical.
