Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons culinary lavender buds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in ½ cup of honey and 1 large egg until well combined.
- Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of culinary lavender buds, being careful not to overmix.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, blending until just combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Keywords: For the best flavor, use fresh culinary lavender if possible. If the dough is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. You can also experiment with add-ins like chopped nuts or white chocolate chips.
