Oo, yum! Should the lavender flowers be fresh or dried? Mine's not blooming right now (and I'm embarrassed to say this, but) the last bunch of lavender I dried is (cough) a little dusty...But next time it blooms, I'd like to try this.
I miss getting the Herb Companion.
Lavender..!
Cookies...!
Faeries...!
Good things come in threes...I will try these !
oh how I love the smell of lavender, but have never tried cooking with them....should they be dried lavender? or fresh?
yum must try this recipe some day.
yum.
I want some of these.
no time to bake.
I wonder if there are Violet Fairy Cookies, my favorite flower.
xoxo
Lavender would be too good too.
I love the smell of lavender and right now I have a bunch of dried I bought to crush. I like to make wee pillows and put a bit inside. I'd love to grow my own. BUT I haven't ever had it as an ingredient...it sounds so interesting. Have you made these yourself?
XOXO
I grew lavender in a pot this summer, but it never flowered...
I'll just imagine I made the cookies and imagine what they taste like...
xoxo
I think they will taste like Parma Violets, those old fashioned sweets. yummy
I love the smell of lavender but can't quite imagine how they would taste. Nick (my older son) used to keep a jar of lavender infused sugar because he read about making it and had to try it. I think he had that jar for 4 years before I finally had to throw it away.
I should have used it to bake cookies!
Yummm those sound so good...now I just have to find myself some Lavendar flowers!! Love your faerie picture, perfect for the recipe:-) Hugs xox
Gosh they sound fantastic. In my jar of white caster sugar I always keep some lavender heads from the garden. We had a bumper crop this year, which all went into sachets, incense and sugar-flavouring. It's one of my favourite herbs :)
These sound wonderful ms. r....will have to try them! I can smell them baking from here! Thanks for posting this recipe!
Oh, how lovely. I wish I knew where I could buy edible lavender. I have a bunch of dried pot pourri but none I can bake with. I love this idea! Have you made them before?
Robyn, that sounds yum...now where does one go to purchase lavender flowers. Well, there is a lavender farm in south Texas, but I don't know where else I might get them. Anyway, I saved the recipe. Thanks!!
((((HUGS))))
These sound delicious - must bake some during the holidays. Thank you for the recipe! xo
