Everyone has a favorite Christmas cookie! I have to say that one of my favorites is Snowball cookies, or you may know them as Russian Tea Cakes, or even as Mexican Wedding Cakes. So of course we had to work some magic and add culinary lavender...cause yes, everything tastes better with lavender!

Make sure to use Culinary Lavender...not all lavender is the same when you cooking. You want a English Lavender. You can find it here.

When you bake the cookies I find that you just barely want a tinge of tan on them so that they taste buttery rich. If they overbake they lose a little bit of their richness.

Heat oven to 325℉ .
In a medium sized mixing bowl add butter, sugar and vanilla. Cream together with a mixer on medium speed.

Hello fellow LNW member: To avoid chucks of lavender bud in the cookies, I place the buds and sugar in a blender and process until the buds are tiny specks.

Carol, that is a always wonderful way to add lavender to cookies and cakes! Simply grind in a blender or clean coffee grinder.
