Ask the hotline about this step!Naked Beet - I have not tried honey lavender cookies, but I bet they would taste great.
mrslarkin - I have tried lavender scones, which were delicious, and lavender chocolates are my absolute favorites. I will definitely have to try more recipes for lavender baked goods.
This looks wonderful, thanks for adding it to F52! I think I've seen a recipe for honey lavender cookies I've been wanting to try as well, have you had those?
Oh, this sounds nice. I love lavender, too. Try it in baked goods. It's great!

Love this recipe - I've been experimenting with ice cream / sherbet / sorbets etc this year too. I went onto your blog and really love the variety. There are a bunch of them that I'm planning to try! Thanks!
