This recipe was developed after lavender was accidentally weeded from the garden. These cookies are made with honey and whole-wheat flour.

Yield: about 24 cookies

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup honey
1 egg
1 Tbsp lavender flowers
2 cups whole-wheat flour

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat butter in a bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat honey, egg and lavender into the creamed butter until incorporated.

Stir flour, ½ cup at a time, into butter mixture until blended. Drop spoonful of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake in preheated oven until cookies are browned on the bottom, about 15 minutes.
