2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch

In a bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and 2 teaspoons lavender buds; cover and set aside at room temperature for 24 hours.
In a bowl, cream butter, sugar and remaining lavender buds. Combine flour, cornstarch and salt; add to the creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. Cover and refrigerate until easy to handle, 2 hours.
