Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- Stir in the dried culinary lavender to evenly distribute the aroma.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats or crisped rice cereal.
- Scoop dough by rounded tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Lightly flatten and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
