LAVENDER TEA COOKIES
A British friend made these for me when I visited her in 1999 and I've been making them every since. They are very buttery and spread like crazy while baking, but you can almost hear the bees buzzing on the lavender when you try one. I kept the recipe to myself for quite a while and only shared it with another friend when she remarked how good they were. Now, they are a standard in HER home and a perennial favourite at her church's bake sale! Very good when served with a cuppa hot tea, especially Earl Grey. And please don't be tempted to add salt or vanilla extract; this is just a plain buttery lavender cookie.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream butter and sugar together by hand.
- Add egg and beat until well combined.
- Stir in the flour and lavender flowers until well combined.
- On a parchment lined cookie sheet, drop dough by tablespoon, spacing at least 3 inches apart, allowing for the cookie to spread out.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until pale golden brown and the edges tinge brown.
- *They will be very soft until cooled on a wire rack. Store in an air-tight container; they are better the 2nd day, if they last that long.
Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and organic lavender buds for the best flavor.
- Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Lavender tea cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are light and airy, with a delicate lavender flavor. The cookies are also very versatile and can be decorated with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, or dried lavender buds. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, you are sure to love this recipe. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give lavender tea cookies a try!
