Light, buttery, lemony and just a hint of lavender.  Not too sweet almost buttery savory, this cookie is just what I need when winter has no end in sight.

Do you know what I’m talking about?

Spring. Maybe you’ve heard of it?

Deep breath. My daughter asked me the other day how long winter is in Minnesota. “Well let’s see,” I told her.  “November, December, January, February, March, April and sometimes it has snowed the first week of May.”

Wait. How many months was that?

Seven. You counted seven too, right?

OK back to spring. Yes, let’s dream of spring and Lemon Lavender Cookies.

My Lemon Lavender Cookies are buttery, light and delicate.  Great for holiday exchanging, but also excellent for baby and bridal showers and perfect for a summer garden party or a tea party with your kids inside-while you wait for the cold to stop.
