These gorgeous cookies are definitely my favorite cookies for this holiday season. The garnishes are endless and this is something your family, friends, and children can get in on and decorate with you. I admit I got a bit stressed out on whether or not I was about to get these cookies to look nice enough to serve but I was quite pleasantly surprised when I started decorating them. It was beautiful and it hid all the imperfections on the cookies. I got this recipe from Bon Appetit and you can substitute whatever flavor of shortbread you want if lavender doesn’t work for you. It’s a great recipe that shortbread lovers will thank you for.
For garnishes, I used what I had in the house. I didn’t want to start candying herbs or flowers since I didn’t have it at my disposal. It’s beautiful but probably not the best to eat. I used a mixture of freeze dried fruits such as raspberries, mulberries, and cranberries.

Tips:
- Refrigerate the rolled out dough when you feel it’s getting too soft. The cookie will retain it’s shape much better.
- This cookie keeps fresh sealed for approx. 2 days.
- I bought my garnishes from the amazing Whole Foods. They have many freeze dried fruit and vegetables options.
- After dipping the cookie in to icing, it takes about 30m to completely dry.
Good luck and enjoy!
