MAUREEN ABOOD'S LAVENDER AND ORANGE BLOSSOM COOKIES
These buttery, shortbread-like cookies, called graybeh, have a particularly crunchy texture that comes from clarified butter. If you've never clarified butter, this recipe is a good place to start, and the process is extremely simple (though you do have to plan it several hours ahead). If you're not a lavender fan, feel free to leave it out. And for a more familiar flavor, substitute vanilla extract for the orange blossom water. These cookies keep well, so you can make them up to a week in advance.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 325 degrees with a rack in the center of the oven. Line two sheet pans (not dark metal) with parchment paper.
- In an electric mixer, beat the butter on high for about 6 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add 3/4 cup (92 grams) confectioners' sugar, lavender and salt and beat another 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, and with the mixer on low speed, add orange blossom water and mix to combine.
- Add flour to butter 1/2 cup (about 65 grams) at a time, until dough is crumbly and slightly dry but still able to hold together when squeezed, adding additional flour if necessary.
- Divide dough into quarters and press each into a long narrow log about 1 inch high and 1 inch wide. With a sharp knife, cut into log diagonally to make diamond-shaped cookies 1 to 2 inches long. Use a spatula to transfer cookies to sheet pans, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Cookies should be golden brown at the edges.
- Sift remaining confectioners' sugar over baked cookies while still warm. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

- Heat the oven to 325°F and place a rack in the center position. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- In an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar, and salt until it is very light and fluffy, almost like whipped cream, about 6 minutes.
- Lower the speed and mix in the lavender and orange blossom water. Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time, and once 1 1/2 cups have been added, spoon in the flour a tablespoon or so at a time, mixing until the dough is dry but holds together. If the dough is too soft, it will not hold its shape when baked, so it’s better to err on the side of crumbly drier dough than dough that is too soft.
- Shape one-third of the dough at a time into a log about an inch wide and an inch tall, squared off on top (this log is pretty narrow!). Cut the dough with a sharp knife on the diagonal to make 1 to 2-inch diamonds. Place them on the prepared sheet pan about an inch apart.
