Delicate, crisp-edged cookies scented with culinary lavender and sweetened with honey, finished with a light crunch from rolled oats or crisped rice—perfect for tea time, gifting, or whenever you want an elegant twist on a classic cookie.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender, finely chopped
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup rolled oats or crisped rice cereal
- 2 tablespoons coarse sugar, for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Stir in the finely chopped dried culinary lavender.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; do not overmix.
- Fold in the rolled oats or crisped rice cereal.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each mound. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
