This recipe made enough dough for an 11”x17” jelly roll pan! So you can feel free to half or even quarter this recipe and it will still make a decent amount of shortbread!
Also, you can lessen or increase the amount of Lemon-Basil, as the amount of leaves you use will make the flavor more or less intense.
Puree 8 oz. Lemon-Basil leaves
Add 2 cups of sugar and puree again.
Add 1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract, 2 cups butter and blend/puree.
Add 2 cups flour and mix thoroughly.
Spread batter in greased rimmed cookie sheet/shortbread pan.
Bake at 350 F for 20-40 minutes until done.
Enjoy!
