Lavender Cookies Recipe
You can use this technique with a variety of herbs: anise seed, rosemary, Fennel seed, Thyme etc. I found through trial and error how much to use: about 2 Tsp. of the anise seed or Lavender, about 3 Tsp of the others.
I mix 2 tsp dried lavender with 1/2 cup of organic cane sugar and grind this in a food processor until the lavender is mixed in well, leave the lid on for a minute or you’ll have sugar dust all over your kitchen.
- 2 cups of All purpose Flour
- 2 sticks of unsalted Butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup of prepared sugar of your choice
- mix the butter and sugar until they form a fluffy consistency add the flour and turn the whole thing into a big ball. flour a suface and roll out your dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick. cut 1.5 by 3 inch squares lay them on a baking sheet or parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 400F while the cookies rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Bake the cookies for about 12–15 minutes or until they have just started to brown on the bottom, careful they are brittle when hot…

Baked a second batch and added some kosher salt, it does add some depth to the recipe. But I made the mistake to refrigerate the dough overnight before rolling it out which made the operation quite difficult the next day.
Thank you for this great recipe!
I love them! Just baked myself a batch of lavender, they are great!
