How to cook deliciously - Lavender Cookies

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cream the softened butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, lavender, baking powder and salt, then gradually beat the dry mixture into the creamed mixture. Editor's Tip: For the best texture, make sure the butter is truly softened, not too cold, and not fully melted.

2. Stage

Drop the cookie dough in rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto baking sheets lightly coated with cooking spray. Bake the cookies until they're golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Let them cool for two minutes before removing them to wire racks.
