I'm not a huge fan of lavender, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm glad I did! The lavender flavor is very subtle and the cookies are so delicious. I'll definitely be making these again.

These cookies were a bit too floral for my taste. I think I would have preferred a stronger lemon flavor. Otherwise, they were easy to make and had a nice texture.
