Once summer starts here, lavender shows their head almost in every garden here, i got a bunch of fresh lavender sprigs from my neighbour's garden as she knows that i love lavender very much. Back home, i used some of those fresh lavender for making these scrumptious cookies along with some chopped walnuts. This is the first time am using lavender in my baking,eventhough baking with lavender was one of my dream since a long.
I know very well that my kids may not love this lavender cookies,but myself and H enjoyed a lot with hot masala tea for our snacks, i loved the flavour of lavender in cookies.These cookies are really dangerous and if you dont care about your waist line these cookies are for you.Sending to Swathi's Favourite Recipes-Cookies.

1cup Sugar
3/4cup Butter (room temperature)
1tsp Baking powder
1/4cup Walnuts (chopped roughly)
