These dainty looking Lavender lemon cookies have a subtle taste of lavender, not too much for I used fresh leaves instead of dried flowers. They are buttery, taste like shortbread with a light floral aroma. They are simple, cute and sure to impress. Try gifting them at a Christmas cookie swap or great to give as a gift during the coming festive season.
