These lavender cookies are all you need to welcome spring or summer. They are also perfect for celebrating Mother\u2019s Day and serving on a baby shower. They make nice homemade treats for aunts, friends, teachers, and coworkers. The lavender notes are sublime and they perfectly pair with a glass of milk or a cup of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lavender cookies to celebrate a newborn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes inspiration comes in different colors and shapes. Take a look at the following picture. There is a mom to be, showing purple ballerinas for her to be born baby girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found this picture on the Facebook wall of one of my co-workers in Caracas and immediately lavender cookies came to mind. The baby who one day will wear the purple ballerinas was born a couple of days ago. Her name is Martina. So, I decided the time to make lavender cookies had arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Dry<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One last thought before we start doing business: while watching the picture of Martina\u2019s ballerinas, I felt so thankful because I only have boys, so I don\u2019t need to go shopping every weekend and get more shoes and manicures than the ones I already have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make lavender cookies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I never baked lavender cookies before. But this is how inspiration works: while doing the mise en place, it was like \u201csomebody\u201d was dictating the ingredients and proportions to me. I made them one time and they turned out perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lavender<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I chose unbleached flour and demerara sugar<\/a>. But I\u2019m sure you can use the sugar and flour of your choice. These cookies are not particularly sweet but floral and citrusy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since dry lavender<\/a> is so fragrant, I added some lemon zest for balance purposes. The result was simply wonderful: the most delicious lavender lemon cookies ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a cookie press<\/a>, with the heart shape because I was thinking of Martina.  But you can make them also with cookie cutters of your favorite shape. I also baked my cookies in a baking sheet<\/a> pan covered with a silicone baking mat<\/a>, but parchment paper<\/a> is ok too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the right lavender to make cookies?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Lavender<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I use organic dry lavender flowers. The same I use to make my lavender syrup<\/a>. They are so fragrant that you don\u2019t need to add that much. As you can see in the following recipe card: 1 \u00bc tablespoon is all you need to make 6 dozen cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What other culinary uses can I give to dry lavender? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"lavender<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As I said before, lavender syrup. This syrup is delicious in cocktails and drinks such as my blueberry lavender mojito<\/a>, or my lavender lemonade. Or make lavender cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e<\/em>, lavender panna cotta, and lemon lavender muffins, among other desserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
