Lavendel biscuits

Lavendel biscuits

Couple of months ago, when I had my birthday, my neighbours gave me some self dried and wrapped lavendel as a present. Since the it has been sitting in our kitchen corner and trying to tell me I should use it for something. Well, I decided finally to "roll my sleeves up" and do something with that lavendel. I found a nice and easy sounding recipe in Internet on site Ichkoche. After small changes I was ready to try it and it worked out great. Even Hubby who normally doesn't care for lavendel though that the biscuits were good. So guess what I'll give for my neighbour as a christmas present :D
