Valentines Lavender and Honey Biscuits!

So Valentines is just a few days away and I decided to make some Lavender and Honey biscuits. They're easy to make and perfect for Valentine's day.

They smell lush and are delicious. (they went down well!)

First, preheat your oven to 180c/160fan/Gas Mark 4. Mix the butter (185g/6.5oz) Caster Sugar (200g/7oz) and the vanilla extract (1tsp.)

Then add the flour (320/11.25oz), 1 egg and 1 egg yolk, 2tbsp of dried lavender and two tbsp of clear honey and mix until the mixture forms a soft dough. Then take the dough, knead slightly to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated and shaping it into a ball. Wrap the dough in clingfilm and chill in the fridge for thirty minutes. 

Roll the dough out on a floured surface (this requires a lot of patience because the dough will be sticky) You can use whatever cookie cutter you want, I used heart shaped cutters because of Valentine's day (which had me wanting to throw everything and be like nope i'm done! Because the dough was sticky and had tested my patience. BUT you can add more flour) Instead of using cookie cutters you could roll them into little balls and press them down with the end of a rolling pin or your thumb. 

Place onto a baking tray lined with a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown. You should remove the biscuits from the baking tray as they have a tendency to over bake when left in the tray. 

Sprinkle with icing sugar or caster sugar.
