After perusing Pinterest to get a general sense of what and how much to put in these cookies, I cobbled together my own recipe and embarked on a kitchen adventure (my family can tell you that I adore pioneering new recipes in the kitchen).
Perhaps best of all is that these cookies are vegan, gluten free, dairy free, and sweetened with honey!
- 1 cup of flour (I used Bob's Red Mill All Purpose gluten-free flour mix)
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 1 tsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tbsp. lavender (or more to taste)
1. Preheat your oven to 350.
2. Mix together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt).
3. Melt the coconut oil and pour it in the bowl with the dry ingredients, but don't combine yet.
4. Add the lemon juice and honey.
5. Now combine your ingredients thoroughly and add the lavender! Mix it in.
6. Form your dough into balls. The size of these balls is completely up to you! I love big cookies.
7. Bake them for 10 minutes. Don't worry if they seem super squishy when they come out. They'll firm up nicely as they cool. (In fact, once they cool completely, they're kind of like shortbread.)
8. Enjoy!
