I had been in need of some inspiration lately. I'd been itching to try something new and cook with a new ingredient but my mind was blank, until last week when I was at William Sonoma. I was simply walking around, admiring their beautiful kitchen products, when I came across their spice rack. It isn't an extravagant spice collection but it is exclusive. As I browsed the collection, my eyes and heart were immediately set on the bottle of French Lavender. Ohhh man...so many ideas came rushing to my head! I grabbed the bottle and as I made my way to the register, the first thing I decided to make was Lavender Shortbread Cookies. I love shortbread cookies...so buttery and soooo good! They're not too sweet and they have a hint of coarse salt in every bite...ahh soo good. I need to keep reminding myself to eat just one per day because they have a high fat content...all that butter.
