Lavender Cookies Recipe

Photobucket


This is one of my favorites cookies I have to say. Not because I baked well but because I personally like lavender. Couples months ago, I found out that there a lavender festival coming up and wanted to go every year but never did. Drive was long and this year was an exception because I found someone to come with us and drive was not as bad when you go with a group of fun friends. Thanks to my dear hubby for driving the girls. We indeed having a blast and enjoy the green around us with the scene of lavenders.

This festival actually giving me an idea or inspire of doing some cooking or baking with it and got fresh herbs of lavender from them which I’m so excited to try it out. On the very same week, I baked cookies out of it. And guess what?? It came out perfectly and I’m totally in love with this cookies. So refreshing! And of course, I gave out some to my friends to try it out as well. A lot of feedbacks from them. Some said, it’s good to eat it with coffee and some love it with a cup of tea. So, either you’re a coffee or tea lover… this cookies just suit everything. Even a glass of wine!


Enjoy your baking & the cookies. Would love to hear from you back.

 Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup superfine sugar
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1¾ cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp dried lavender, chopped


Method:
Preheat the oven to 375F/190C. Line 2 – 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the butter and sugar in a bowl and beat together until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg. Sift together the flour and baking powder into the mixture, add the lavender, and stir well.

Place tablespoons of the mixture on the baking sheets, spaced well apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 – 10 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

Makes about 40
