Member's raved about this cookie for Spring PAC so I felt compelled to make this, since I adore baking with lavender so much. I agree with all three reviewers: a stellar little biscuit that is light-as-a-feather and delicately flavoured with both lemon and lavender. Also used the aforementioned Lavender/Vanilla Sugar; I love that they are not dense or overly sweet. I'm making a second batch, immediately, as a Thank You gift for a dear friend. :)

Made for PAC 2010. Light and a great flavor. These were great. I made these for the lady I good for. She is having company tomorrow night. I did keep some of course. Followed it to a tee but did use Rita's Lavender Sugar with vanilla. Mine took around 12-13, but that is baking. Everyone's ovens and pans are different. Very very good. I definitely saved this on my list. Kim

Took your suggestion (& Tink's!) & made Rita's Lavender Sugar With Vanilla, with flowers provided by a good friend of mine! Then I followed your recipe right on down & we were treated to some OUTSTANDING COOKIES! I did gift half of them to my flower-providing friend, but other than that, we somehow managed to consume them right here at home! Definitely a keeper of a recipe!

Oh! These are so light & airy! I love the fresh lavender & lemon flavors. I used Mexican vanilla and didn't collect enough flowers for the 1/2 teaspoon in the batter, but otherwise made as directed, including making recipe #101039 first. I also skipped step one & didn't preheat the oven since the dough would be chilling for an hour before forming the cookies. I used a small cookie scoop (about 2 teaspoon size) to portion the dough & it made 40 delicious cookies. I'm in terrible danger of eating them all myself so I've packaged up more than half of them to send to work with DH tomorrow. :) I'll be making these again. Thanks for sharing your creation, salad savior! Made & enjoyed for Spring 2010 Pick A Chef.
