Summer recipe ~ Lavender and Ginger cookies

As part of my week-long blog to raise awareness of aromatherapy I thought I would go back to the raw ingredients themselves.  And because I felt like baking today, I decided to give you a delicious recipe for Lavender and Ginger cookies!

You will need:

• 4½oz / 125g butter
• 4oz / 110g sugar
• 1 egg
• 6oz / 170g self raising flour
• 1 level tablespoon dried lavender flowers
• 1 level tablespoon chopped ginger

Method:

1. Cream butter and sugar, add egg and beat well.
2. Add lavender, ginger and flour and mix well.
3. Roll dough into a sausage shape, wrap in greaseproof paper and freeze for 30 minutes
4. Slice dough into cookies (should make about 30) and place on a greased baking tray
5. Bake in a pre-heated oven for 20 minutes (Gas mark 3 / 170C)

Et voila!  A lovely batch of cookies.  Enjoy ♥
