What a great recipe, sofie! The lavender taste is just right and makes these cookies very special! I loved it! The dough was super easy to work with and dropping the cookies onto the sheet worked out nicely. I got 36 chunky cookies from the full recipe and the only thing I changed was to reduce the oil a tad. I used blueberry sugar to sprinkle on top, but sadly it didnt stay on that well. Ah well, the cookies disappeared super fast anyways and nobody really cared. :) <br/>THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this great recipe with us, sofie! Made and reviewed for PRMR April 2012.
