I am a romantic. There’s no way around it, no other explanation, and it doesn’t take long for people to figure it out once they’ve talked to me for more than a minute. I love Victorian style, decor, literature, houses, and tea parties. Especially tea parties.I think it’s such a wonderful ritual, the whole idea of slowing down and having a cup of tea in the afternoon with a little bite of something sweet. I love the big, fancy teas, too. It all seems so civilized and feminine.

I created some lavender lemon cookies for my other blog, Restless Chipotle, which is about regular food — the stuff my family eats. I wondered if I’d be able to create something similar for Lowcarb-ology, the blog where I write about the food that I eat! I wanted a good, basic cookie recipe that was more buttery than my low carb sugar cookies.

Tips for Making Lavender Lemon Cookies

  • I used erythritol because that’s what I happened to have. You can use any measure for measure sweetener that you like.
  • Be sure to get culinary lavender that’s specifically for use as an ingredient in food.
  • Don’t use too much lavender or your recipe will taste like soap.
  • Let these cool on the cookie sheet for at least 15 minutes or they will break apart. They are very delicate.
