Instructions

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together the sugar, butter, and vanilla extract until fluffy.

Sift the cornstarch and plain flour into the bowl and gently fold it in with a spatula. Then knead by hand, and make into a ball.

Roll it into a 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) thick sheet. Cut out rounds of about 5 cm (2 inches) in diameter and put them on a tray lined with baking paper.

When cold, dip halfway through in melted dark chocolate and top with a pinch of edible lavender.
