Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a large bowl combine flour and sugar. Use a pastry blender to cut in butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in chopped violas and peppercorns. Knead mixture until it forms a smooth ball. (Mixture will be crumbly at first.)
- Pat dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 1- to 2-inch round cutters. Arrange 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. If desired, brush shortbread with milk, add whole violas, and brush with milk.
- Bake 15 minutes or until bottoms start to brown. Cool on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freezer up to 3 months.
