Grandma's Lavender Cookies

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375˚F. Grease 2 lined baking sheets or line with silpats.

Step 2

In a blender, combine eggs, butter, sugar and lavender leaves. Blend on low until well combined and the lavender has broken up into small pieces.

Step 3

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and stir together until combined. Drop dough onto the greased baking sheets, 1 Tbsp at a time.

Step 4

Bake cookies for 10 to 15 minutes*, until the edges are golden brown. Cool completely on wire racks.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine sugar, lavender extract and water, stirring until it forms a smooth frosting. If the frosting is too thick, you can add more water (1 tsp at a time) until it’s the desired consistency. Once the cookies are cool, spread them with a thin layer of icing and garnish with a few dried lavender flowers.
