1
Preheat the oven to 325F degrees.
2
Blend the confectioner's sugar into the butter, and then gradually add the flour, 1 cup at a time. Dough will be very thick. At this point, you may add crushed lavender flowers or rosemary, if you wish.
3
Place dough on floured surface, pat down, and roll out into a square or circle 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 2 1/2 inch squares or Petticoat Tail wedges, and carefully place on an ungreased baking sheet.
4
Prick the top of each square or wedge with a fork.
5
Bake at 325F degrees for 25 to 30 minutes; cookies should be pale on top, but golden brown on the bottom.
6
Remove from oven, sprinkle with sugar if you wish, and cool on wire racks.

Store in an airtight container.
