☼ ostara vegan shortbread floral cookie flex-ipe ☼ 

❊ ingredients ❊
tapioca flour, brown rice flour, vanilla extract, sugar, honey, vegan butter 

☾ mix ingredients in bowl. add about 3 parts brown rice flour and 2 parts tapioca. strict measurements optional! melt butter and stir in with vanilla, honey and sugar. add flowers of choice (I used rose, lavender and calendula for a restoring, calming and gentle loving effect)☽

 ☾ bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes of until hardened ☼ 

honey is a staple for ostara celebrations. it is preservative and indicates new life, productivity and sweetness. honey was used in ancient Egypt, and many honey amulets are still in tact today. as we celebrate this new year, we want to lay the foundations for vitality, momentum, and lasting loving behaviors. ☼ 

these cookies filled my home and body with joy! I may have to call them Laughing Shortbreads because after my roommates and I shared a dozen of them, we couldn’t help but giggle and relish in the sheer sweetness of life. of course, with the lavender, expect to feel soporific and ready for bed by your 3 cookie.

 ☼ enjoy! and please, if you try this recipe simply tag me. best of luck to you all and blessed ostara ☼
