I recently bought a bag of dried lavender to use in my baking and crafting. In addition to some yummy lavender sugar scrub, I also made a yummy batch of lavender vanilla cookies. A few years ago I fell in love with the simplicity of Christmas cookies made with boxed cake mixes, and I love coming up with new taste ideas. In addition to lavender vanilla, I also made some lavender lemon cookies using lemon cake mix. Super easy and super tasty!
Ingredients
- 1 box of lemon cake mix
- 6 tablespoons of softened butter
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 2 eggs
- 6 tablespoons of dried lavender
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Blend 3 tablespoons of the dried lavender into a powder.
- Beat together the softened butter, eggs, and water in a large bowl.
- Add the lavender powder to the wet mixture.
- Slowly add the cake mix and remaining dried lavender to the wet mixture. Combine thoroughly.
- Drop teaspoons of the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave 2 inches between the dough balls.
- Bake the cookies for 9 minutes or until the bottoms begin to brown.
- Allow the baked cookies to rest for a minute before removing from the cookie sheet.
- Store the lavender lemon cake mix cookies in an airtight container.
