Friday! And that means, in my ideal posting routine, something sweet. I made these yummy cookies from a recipe over at Life, Lightly Salted (go there for the original recipe with US measurements) for my sister's birthday party and they were definitely a hit. The lavender is quite unexpected, but goes very well with the blueberries!
Oatmeal Blueberry cookies with Lavender & White Chocolate
about 40 cookies
175 ml brown sugar r
220 g butter, softened
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
750 ml oats
310 ml flour
90 g dried blueberries
1 tsp dried lavender buds, ground in a pestle and mortar
200 g white chocolate, coarsely chopped
Heat the oven to 175°C. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy, then add the baking soda, vanilla and salt. Stir in the eggs and make sure you have a smooth batter.
Add oats, flour, lavender, blueberries and white chocolate. Shape the dough into small balls, and place on a baking sheet - leave room between the cookies, they will spread some.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Leave to cool on a rack.

hi anne!
thank you so much for that recipe, it was exactly what i needed after a very stressful day. it was done in no time and now the whole house smells a little vanilla-lavenderish plus the whole family agrees that these are probably the best cookies i've ever made ;) hope your weekend started just as well.

This sounds awesome. Where do you buy dried lavender buds? Normal stores in Sweden like ICA, Konsum?
Jon, not likely. I bought mine from a spice shop in Hötorgshallarna, and other spice shops probably have some as well.
These sound wonderful and quite unusal. I love the idea of the lavender with the blueberries.
This sounds a lovely combination with the blueberries that I would like to try. I grow lavender in the garden and dry some buds which will last all year round and more as I ocaisionally make lavender cookies.
One for the notebook - a great use for lavender when in season.
Great combination of flavours - I love the lavender in there.
