Lavender Sugar cookies

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

     While most people think lavender is only for scented sachets, soaps , shampoos and aother aromatherapy uses, the bloosoms have culinary possibilties as well.  The French have used lavender blossoms to flavor cornish hen or chicken. Simply 'tuck' a teaspoon of lavender under the skin of your poultry, drizzle with olive oil and either baked or grill.
  Another simple recipe is Sugar cookies, follow the instructions as you would to make regular sugar cookies , but add 2-3 teaspoons of dried, chopped lavender blossoms into the batter. 
  They'll bake up with a delicate, subtle floral scent , but taste surprisingly good!
