Lavender shortbread cookies with a hint of vanilla have a rich history dating back to the English countryside, where the delicate fragrance of lavender fields inspired this delightful treat. Renowned chefs like Nigella Lawson and Ina Garten have popularized this recipe, infusing the classic shortbread with the floral notes of lavender and a touch of vanilla for a subtle sweetness. The best version of this dish can be found in quaint bakeries in the Cotswolds, where the use of high-quality lavender and pure vanilla extract is essential. For a twist, some bakers incorporate lavender-infused sugar or drizzle the cookies with a vanilla glaze for added indulgence.
