1. In a bowl mix the lavender petals with the sugar thoroughly. If you are powdering sugar, just drop in the lavender and pulse it along with the sugar.
2. Chop the butter into chunks and beat it with the sugar lavender mixture.
3. Now add the all purpose flour, salt and almond powder to it and mix well until everything comes together.
4. If you find the dough dry and crumbly, add 2 tsp of milk and mix well until it forms a soft dough.
5. Wrap in cling film and refrigerate for half an hour.
6. Flour the work surface and roll the dough into a 1/4 inch thick sheet. Use cutters of your choice to cut out shapes. Place the cut cookies on the lined baking tray.
7. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the tray with cookies in and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching closely so that they don’t get too brown. 12 minutes did is perfectly in my convection oven.
8. Enjoy the strong lavender aroma while baking.
