More gift ideas! Just a bit of warning-never stick your hand into a glass jar as I notice was done here. The glass could break and leave you with a nasty cut. Always be careful with melted wax or soaps.

I visited a Lavender Farm and had so much dried lavender to do fun projects with! I'll be showing you three handmade gifts that you can make with dried laven...

This wreath is made with fresh lavender which is easier to work with. It can, however, be made with dried lavender but you would need to be a bit more careful. Another option would be to use dried lavender along with other greens that are available fresh at this time of year. Think firs, yews and other evergreens. This would also make it more seasonally festive.

I recently visited a charming local lavender farm with the intention of picking some beautiful lavender to create a wreath and film a tutorial. However, I ma...

As far as shortbreads go, this one is hard to beat. Its blissful buttery texture that melts in your mouth, its aromatic sweetness and its frosted sugar-coating, it's the perfect thing to satiate any sweet tooth's appetite. And what better way to share some love than with a bunch of these cookies, it's as good as getting a bunch of flowers.

Lavender Shortbread
adapted from an award-winning recipe from Kelli’s Lovescool
makes 15 flower shapes

¾ cup (2.25 oz) icing (confectioner’s) sugar
1 tbsp dried lavender
140g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
1 tsp lemon zest
1¾ cup (8.5 oz) plain all-purpose flour
3 large egg yolks
1 cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the confectioner’s sugar and lavender together in a bowl.

Add the butter, lemon zest and lavender/sugar mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix until smooth and light in colour.

Add the flour and mix until well combined.

Add the egg yolks and mix just until the eggs are fully incorporated and a mass forms.

Form the dough into a disk and chill in the refrigerator until firm (about 30 minutes).

Roll the dough out to 1.5cm thickness.

Cut the dough with a cookie cutter.

Toss each cut cookie in a bowl of granulated sugar to coat.

Place the sugar-coated cookie on a parchment lined pan.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until slightly golden around the edges.

If you are thinking that the recipe looks familiar, then you have probably seen it before on Kelli's Lovescool. I adapted her recipe from her award winning recipe for Green Tea Sweets.

Author: EmilyFabulous

Equipment
* 1 small mixing bowl
* 1 medium mixing bowl
* hand mixer
* silicone spatula
* 1 baking sheet
* 1 silicone mat
* 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
* ½ cup unsalted butter, room temp
* ½ cup confectioners powdered sugar
* ½ teaspoon vanilla bean paste(vanilla extract)
* zest from 1 lemon
* 2 tablespoons culinary lavender buds
* ½ cup lemon curd (homemade or store-bought)

Instructions
* If you are making homemade lemon curd, make sure you give it enough time to chill. Plan ahead. and make it in the morning or the day before. �
* In a small mixing bowl add the flour and salt, mix them together, and set aside. �
* In a medium mixing bowl, add the room temperature butter and mix with a hand mixer until nice and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the powdered sugar and continue to mix until smooth and creamy.�
* Add the vanilla paste (or extract), lemon zest, and lavender buds and mix in with a spatula.�
* Pour in half of the flour mixture and stir to combine. Add the remaining flour and fully combine until you have a nice dough. �
* Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and form a log. Chill the dough in the fridge for an hour.�
* Remove the dough from the fridge and cut the log into ¼" pieces. Take each piece and quickly roll it into a round ball. Place each ball onto a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. �
* Gently press the middle of each ball with your finger or a rounded spoon (my measuring spoon worked perfectly!). Place a dollop of lemon curd into the middle of each cookie being careful not to overfill it. �
* Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes. While the cookies are getting cold, preheat the oven to 325°F.�
* Bake the cookies for 13-15 minutes and then remove them from the oven. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 10 minutes and then place them on a cooling rack to cool completely. �
Notes
* Store the cookies - Store any leftover cookies in a sealable container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
* Freeze the cookies - You can freeze the shortbread cookies, but leave out the lemon curd until you are ready to enjoy them.
* Use culinary lavender - It's sweeter and less bitter than ornamental varieties.
* Chill the dough - Keeps the cookies from spreading too much while baking.�
* Don't overmix - Stir just until combined for a tender cookie.�
* Let cookies cool fully - Warm cookies can melt or absorb the curd.�
* Optional: dust with powdered sugar - Adds a pretty finish without overwhelming flavor.
