Ingredients

Collect all your ingredients ahead of time for a smooth baking experience:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons finely ground coffee
• 2 teaspoons culinary lavender, lightly crushed
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons milk or cream

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, ground coffee, and lavender. Set aside.
3. In a separate bowl, blend the melted butter, honey, and sugar until the sugar starts to dissolve.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, stirring until fully combined.
5. Gently fold in half of the dry mixture, then pour in the milk or cream. Add the remaining dry mixture and continue stirring until you form a slightly sticky dough.
6. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges appear lightly golden. Overbaking can dull the gentle lavender flavor, so keep a close watch.
8. Cool on the baking sheet for a minute or two, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Tips & Variations

• Swap in espresso powder if you prefer a stronger coffee punch.
• Adjust sweetness by using maple syrup or agave syrup instead of honey.
• For an extra floral kick, add a touch more lavender on top of each cookie before baking.
• Drizzle a simple glaze of powdered sugar, brewed coffee, and a drop of honey over cooled cookies for added sweetness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use garden lavender instead?

• Only use culinary-grade lavender labeled for consumption. Homegrown lavender may contain pesticides or might not be the right variety.

Do these cookies freeze well?

• Yes. You can freeze the dough in pre-portioned scoops or freeze baked cookies. For best freshness, enjoy them within two months.

Can I reduce the coffee flavor?

• Absolutely. Use a smaller amount of ground coffee or even omit it if you want primarily honey and lavender notes.

What if I don’t have honey?

• You can substitute an equivalent amount of maple syrup or agave syrup. Each will slightly change the flavor profile, but the texture will remain similar.

How do I keep them fresh?

• Store in an airtight container to maintain softness for up to five days. If they start to dry out, place a small piece of bread in the container to help retain moisture.
