These cookies are perfect for any Boho-themed celebration, bringing a unique flavor profile and an aromatic touch that can elevate your holiday baking.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color. This should take about 3-5 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer.
3. Add the Egg and Vanilla: Once the butter and sugar are well combined, beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and culinary lavender. This helps to evenly distribute the baking powder and lavender throughout the dough.
5. Mix Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
6. Form the Cookies: Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
7. Flatten the Cookies: Gently press down each dough ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to flatten them slightly. This will help them bake evenly.
8. Bake: Place the baking tray in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers might look slightly soft; they will firm up as they cool.
9. Cool: Remove the tray from the oven and let the cookies sit on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Finish and Serve: Once the cookies are cool, you can dust them with powdered sugar if desired for an elegant touch. Enjoy these fragrant and tasty Almond Flour and Lavender Sugar Cookies at your next gathering or holiday celebration!

These cookies are not only a feast for the eyes with their beautiful marbled appearance but also provide a delightful contrast in flavors. Perfect for holiday celebrations or any festive gathering, Matcha Marbled Shortbread is sure to impress your friends and family.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by letting the unsalted butter soften at room temperature if it is not already softened. This makes it easier to cream with the sugars.
2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
4. Incorporate Vanilla: Add the vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugars. Mix until combined.
5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt. Gradually add this flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined to form a soft dough.
6. Prepare Matcha Mixture: In a small bowl, take 1 cup of the cookie dough and add the matcha green tea powder. Mix thoroughly until the matcha is fully incorporated into the dough and there are no green streaks remaining.
7. Marble the Dough: On a clean surface, place both the plain dough and matcha dough side by side. Gently press and roll them together to create a marbled effect. Be careful not to overmix—aim for a beautiful swirl pattern.
8. Shape the Cookies: Once marbled to your liking, take portions of the dough and roll them into logs, about 1-1.5 inches thick. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
9. Slice and Bake: Remove the logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the slices on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
10. Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy these delicious Matcha Marbled Shortbread cookies with a cup of tea or coffee, or store them in an airtight container for later.

Perfect for adding a tropical touch to your holiday dessert table, these macarons can be filled with luscious flavors like pineapple or mango, making them a unique and flavorful option for any festive gathering.

Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C) and lining two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Coconut Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut with powdered sugar. Mix until well combined and set aside.

7. Let the Shells Rest: Allow the piped macarons to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes until a skin forms on the surface. This step helps achieve the signature “feet” for the macarons when baked.
8. Bake the Macarons: Once the macarons have rested, bake them in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until they are firm to the touch and slightly golden on the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent overbaking.
9. Cool the Macarons: After baking, remove the macarons from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Fill with Tropical Puree: Once the macarons are completely cool, pair them up and spread or pipe a layer of tropical fruit puree between each set to create a delicious filling.
11. Optional Garnish: For an extra tropical touch, sprinkle some flaked coconut on the filling before sandwiching the macarons together.
12. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the filled macarons to rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld together. Enjoy your Coconut Macarons With Tropical Flair!
