Why You'll Love This Recipe
- You can have delicious vegan lavender lemon cookies ready to eat in under half an hour.
- The citrusy punch of lemon paired with the floral note of lavender is such a spring vibe. Instead of heavy and rich, I would describe these cookies as light and fresh.
- You can make a lot at one time, so it’s a great recipe for making to share with friends and family or just having lots for yourself.
- Can I make these vegan lavender lemon cookies ahead of time and freeze them? You can. Simply thaw them before eating. You can eat them cold or pop them in the microwave for 5-10 seconds so that they taste fresh-out-of-the-oven.
- Where can I buy dried lavender? I found mine at a local Mediterranean market, but you can also find it at some grocery stores, most spice shops, and online retailers such as Amazon. Just make sure the lavender you use is labeled as “culinary lavender” so that you know it’s safe for using in food.
