As I said, the hard part is finding the lavender. Lucky for me, she grows in the garden at my mother-in-law. Suitable unopened buds, and the state of flowering, the aroma in baking the same, checked.

We will need about 6 inflorescences. I made 2 servings, so I needed that such a beam.

Florets rinse, dry gently with a paper towel, separate the flowers from the stems. (I hope that all parts of lavender are called correctly, botanists, correct me if I'm wrong.) Here, on the picture the result - the prepared lavender for baking and to the right is what is left.

Well, now it's simple. Mix the butter with sugar, when they become homogeneous, gradually add the flour, vanilla sugar and baking powder. In the ingredients I wrote - flour, approximately 2 cups, approximately, because the flour is all different, should turn out such a beautiful buttery nibs. Now add the egg, almonds and lavender. I did everything with the help of a food processor, about 10 minutes. The almonds I put large because of love, but it is more difficult to work on the next stage, so You decide - ground or large. The result is a homogenous dough, pleasant to the touch, does not stick to hands and very easy to work with.

Now from the dough with your hands forming sausages with a diameter of 3-4 cm, on a baking sheet and pressed them replusive on the sides so the sausage was almost flat, long, chop-chop, with a maximum height of 1.5 cm. I got 3 things here, the first row in the picture I already flattened.

Put into the oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. They should stay pale, but slightly dry. Leave to cool for 10 minutes and then cut with a sharp knife on the diagonal, the thickness approximately 1 see Here I was faced with the fact that a large almond cookie cut easy, cookie crumbles and loses its appearance. Way - husband, who quickly sharpened the knife to a stunning sharpness.

Again put into the oven, 180 degrees, 15 minutes. And again leave in fresh air to cool and slightly dry. And here is the result - a fragrant, crumbly, spicy, original, lavender... Nina-superbubble, this is for you! All a pleasant appetite!
