    I know I wish it was that easy...  But there are flavors, smells that just bring back somewhere with somebody.  For me, it is parsley, it sends me back to my childhood when I would go on my vacation with my grandparents.  When a little wind would blow, I could smell the parsley from my bedroom window.   It seems like nothing at the moment, but now, it just reminds me of my dear Papy and Mamie and that big house in the vineyards.

    Lavender cookie

    There is also lavender.  Especially since I live here, in Canada.  It makes me travel back to the South of France, where I am from.  I am on vacation for a few seconds... In fairness, let me bring you along with me and give you a little taste of ''Je-ne-sais-quoi''....

    Ingredients

    • 50 g of sugar
    • 100 g soft butter
    • 1 teaspoon chopped lavender
    • 150 g flour

    Instructions

    • In a bowl, mix the sugar and the lavender. Add the butter and whisk until it becomes a little fluffy.
    • Add the flour gradually, stir until well mixed. The dough holds together.
    • Refrigirate for 1 hour.
    • Roll the dough and make some shapes of your choice. I choose to make thin cookies (of about 2millimeters) but you can make them thicker. Re-knead and re-roll the dough until finished.
    • Bake in a warm oven at 400F for 7-8 minutes or until the cookie is slightly golden.
    • Allow to cool down if you can wait...

      Beautiful pictures! I agree that scents can transport us and bring us back memories. I'd love a shortbread cookie and an actual trip to Provence! :)

      I love how the scent of something particular can bring about memories from the past. It is so special to be randomly reminded of a pleasant memory
      These cookies sound quite lovely!
