💬 Reviews (What a great taco! I questioned several things about the recipe (one potato for 17 servings?), but after contacting the chef plunged into the recipe & followed the instructions. I was rewarded with a terrific meal. The flavor from the spices is very nice. It is robust, but not overpowering & chili powder was not missed in the least. I ended up with 12 tacos as the smallest available tortillas were fajita size. Served with Recipe #303119 for the Dec P-A-R-T-Y event.)

this is wonderful just to open and sniff! i made four jars one with lavender and sugar put into my vita mix to make into lavender powdered sugar(which is nice if you don't want lavender buds in your baking. or to add to a cup of comforting tea), then jarred two with lavender and the fourth i put in a vanilla bean. can be used in cake or cookie mixes, a cup of tea, in a frosting or glaze, salad dressing or just take a sniff every now and again! a great way to make the summer stay a little longer! i also made lavender jelly with it! makes a great gift.
💬 Reviews (Yum! Who could turn this dish down? There's simply nothing better then to snack on these babies - and it's even better when dipped in some creamy French dressing. I made my own using this, Recipe #24655. Augh....life is good with me and my artichokes!)

a british friend made these for me when i visited her in 1999 and i've been making them every since. they are very buttery and spread like crazy while baking, but you can almost hear the bees buzzing on the lavender when you try one. i kept the recipe to myself for quite a while and only shared it with another friend when she remarked how good they were. now, they are a standard in her home and a perennial favourite at her church's bake sale! very good when served with a cuppa hot tea, especially earl grey.
and please don't be tempted to add salt or vanilla extract; this is just a plain buttery lavender cookie.
