Lavender Cookies

Here in the great Pacific Northwest – notably Hood River, Silverton, Clatskanie and Sequim – we are blessed to have lavender fields that flourish in the summer months. You’ve probably stopped to smell the flowers before, but have you tasted specialty foods featuring this herb? You can save a trip to the roadside stands and try these shortbread cookies instead. Studded with dried lavender and laced with honey, they will awaken and indulge your olfactory sense. Breathing in the lemony and floral scents of the flower – made ever more fragrant with the sweetness of honey – is as pleasurable as biting into the infused buttery crumbs that carry a salty contrast. This is an aromatic dreamscape you do not want to miss!
