These are fabulous! I followed the White Sugar recipe and added a teaspoon of dried lavender buds to the sugar (pulverized together in a mini food processor). The lemon and lavender and perfect complements to each other and the shortbread is a big hit!!

Jen: We used regular salted butter. You can use unsalted butter, but make sure to add about 1/4 teaspoon salt to the flour.

I have the lemon shortbread cookies in my oven right now, and they smell so amazing. I can’t wait for them to be done in a few minutes!

Thank you for inspiring me to make shortbread for the first time. I made the lemon ones, using a bit more lemon zest, and they are outstanding. My house smells incredible. My mother loves shortbread — I think I’ll make another batch and Fedex them to New York for her!

Katherine: Thanks for the question, I forgot to add the yield at the bottom of the recipe! For the small squares, we ended up with close to 5 dozen cookies (I had to look at the photo and count!).

I was wondering, since thinking of making the lemon ones for a yule party coming up, about how many of the small squares did it make?

Most of the guests are college students so will probably have to make a few batches
