Mmmm! We couldn't wait to try some gingerbread cookies with lavender this holiday season!
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup Certified Organic, Fair Trade Lavender Sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup molasses
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ginger
1 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Blend all of the ingredients with an electric mixer. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll out Lavender Gingerbread Cookie Dough to 1/4 inch thick, cut into shapes, place a half inch apart on a cookie sheet, and bake for about 8 minutes or until slightly browned. Makes 2 dozen 5-inch cookies.
*If you prefer a slightly stronger lavender flavor, add 1/2 tsp. finely chopped Culinary Lavender.
Ornamental Cookie Frosting:
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
1 egg white
Blend all ingredients until very thick- a knife drawn through the frosting should leave a line. Color and use to decorate!
