Ingredients:
- 115 g margarine (at room temperature)
- 25 g of powdered sugar
- 130 g all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- a pinch of salt
- 1.5 teaspoon of ground cardamom
- a tablepoon of lavender flowers
Preparation:
- Beat the margarine with an electric mixer. Add sugar and vanilla extract and whip it until creamy.
- Sift flour, salt and ground cardamom through a sieve into a separate bowl. Mix it together with a tablespoon of chopped lavender flowers.
- Start adding, spoon by spoon, spiced flour to the creamy margarine and combine it together with a spatula, or electric mixer, until getting a crumbly mixture. At this point you should form a ball out of it.
We need to be fast at this step, otherwise the margarine will start melting under warm hands and adding more flour to it will create a tough cookie. - Place a ball of dough between two sheets of baking paper and roll it 0.5 centimeters thick.
Place rolled dough with baking paper in the freezer for 10 minutes or in a fridge for 30 minutes. - Use a cookie cutter, a glass or a knife to shape your cookies.
- Place them in the preheated oven to 180 ⁰C for about 12-14 minutes.
