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:
- Use fresh lavender buds for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh lavender, you can use dried lavender buds, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Use a light hand when frosting the cookies. Too much frosting will overwhelm the delicate flavor of the cookies.
Conclusion:
Lavender tea cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special events. With their delicate flavor and beautiful appearance, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
