These are great cookies....maybe your customers will enjoy the recipe when you sell your cinnamon (or lemon, or lime) basil
From the book Southern Herb Growing (a must for gardeners in the Southeast) by Hill and Barclay
 
Sift 3 cups flour, 1 2/2 teaspoons baking pwerder and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt.  Set aside.
 
In large mixer bowl, beat 2/3 cup softened butter or margarine, and beat in 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 3 TABLESPOONS FRESH CINNAMON BASIL chopped ,
plus 1 tablespoon finely chopped lime peel.  Beat until light and fluffy.
 
At low speed, beat in dry ingredients and mix in 1 cup chopped pistachios (or walnuts, etc.) by hand.
 
Turn out dough on lightly floured surface, divide in half, shape each into a roll 6-7 inches long, roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 8 hours\\ (You can also freeze dough)
 
Preheat oven to 375, cut dough into 1/8 inch slices and bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes.  DO NOT OVERCOOK, just until lightly browned.
 
 
THEY ARE DELICIOUS. 
 
We used the cinnamon basil in wedding bouquet and flower arrangements as well.  Made people VERY happy!
