Have you ever tried or baked something with lavender? Yes, I mean the cute purple flowers with that awesome smell. The ones you can use to make soap or to get rid of moths in your wardrobe. ;) Lavender is probably not everybody’s favorite ingredient when it comes to baking, even though you can make really nice stuff with it! For example, these delicious Lavender Cookies!

Yes, you really have to like lavender. I’d say it is the same with raisins, peanuts or cilantro – some love it and for some it is the worst that can happen when it comes to food ;) In case you think “whaaaay did he contaminate these lovely cookies with lavender?!”… I assume you probably not going to like them and should make them for somebody else. Somebody will love them for sure! ;)

You have to be careful when adding the lavender to the dough. The right dosage is essential here. Do not add too much! If you really like lavender, you might want to add more, but don’t! It might not have a strong smell at the beginning, but when baked, the abount stated in the recipe is perfect. The dosage of lavender should always be small. You want a hint of lavender but not the smell and taste of a soap :P

DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

  • English
  • Deutsch

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.

2. Add the butter and sugar to a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one and mix well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and lemon juice and mix in. In a second bowl mix the flour with baking powder, salt, lemon zest, and dried lavender. Add in two portions alternating with the milk to the bowl and mix until just combined. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to place dough balls on the baking sheet – keep enough space in between. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are firm but not browned. Take out of the oven and let cool down completely on a wire rack.

3. For the glaze mix the confectioners’ sugar with the lemon juice. Gradually add the milk until the consistency of the glaze is not too thick but also not too runny. Glaze the cookies and sprinkle with some dried lavender and let dry.

1. Den Ofen auf 175°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.

2. Die Butter mit dem Zucker in einer großen Schüssel hell und luftig aufschlagen. Die Eier einzeln dazugeben und jeweils gut unterrühren. Vanille Extrakt und Zitronensaft dazugeben und unterrühren. In einer zweiten Schüssel das Mehl mit Backpulver, Salz, Zitronenschalenabrieb und Lavendel vermischen. Diese Mischung in zwei Portionen, abwechselnd mit der Milch zur Schüssel dazugeben und jeweils nur kurz unterrühren. Mit einem Eisportionierer oder Esslöffel kleine Teigportionen mit genügend Abstand zueinander auf das Blech setzen und dann für 10-12 Minuten backen. Die Cookies sollten durchgebacken sein, aber keine Farbe bekommen. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf einem Kuchengitter komplett abkühlen lassen.

3. Für die Glasur den Puderzucker mit dem Zitronensaft verrühren, die Milch nach und nach zugeben, bis die Konsistenz passt und nicht zu flüssig ist. Die Cookies damit bestreichen und dann mit einigen (wenigen) getrockneten Lavendelblüten bestreuen und trocknen lassen.

    I love everything about lavender! The only time I’ve ever eaten it though was once I had some chocolate lavender truffles. That was interesting, and delicious!

About me


Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
