Flavor Profile

Floral & Aromatic: Lightly sweet from honey, with a subtle herbal-floral note from lavender.
Earthy & Warm: Whole wheat flour brings a slight nuttiness that complements the honey’s mellow caramel tones.

Tips for Success

🌸 Mind the Lavender: A little goes a long way. Over-grinding can lead to an overly pungent or “soapy” taste.

Texture

Delicate Bite: Expect a soft, gently cake-like center and barely crisp edges.
Shapely Cookies: They don’t spread much, so give them a gentle press for the form you prefer.

How to Make Honey Lavender Cookies

📝 Ingredients
½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) lavender flowers
½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup (94 g) honey
1 large egg, room temperature
1½ cups (195 g) whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon (5 ml) baking powder
½ teaspoon (2.5 ml) salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C).
Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2️⃣ Grind the Lavender
Use a coffee grinder, mortar and pestle, or small blender to gently break down the lavender flowers.
Don’t over-grind, or you risk a soapy flavor.

3️⃣ Cream the Butter & Honey
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and honey until smooth.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly.

4️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground lavender.

5️⃣ Mix Wet & Dry
Stir the dry mixture into the wet mixture just until no flour streaks remain.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.

6️⃣ Shape & Bake
Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets.
Gently press each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned.

7️⃣ Cool & Store
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week (though they rarely last that long!).
