When Max made shortbread cookies with Buddha's Hand, he substituted it for the lemon zest in this recipe with lavender - and also made versions with chamomile added, and with rosemary and sage added. (Fresh rosemary does better, but dried works.) He thought about done some with cardamom too, but didn't.

If you have any of the other spices on hand, those combinations cleaned him *out* at multiple potlucks.
