Summer souvenirs...To bake a little cake


When I want to taste a bit of summer, I make these little lavender dreams, using the lavender scented sugar I made this summer. Lavender, sugar and a jar is all you need to make your own  Since I have lavender growing in my garden I simply pick some buds, just before the flowers open and use them frresh. I mix the lavender and sugar and let it sit for a month, shaking the jar now and then. Here´s how to make dream cookies,

100g butter
1dl sugar
2 dl lavender sugar
1dl rape seed oil
1 teaspoon ammonium carbonate
4dl plain white flour

Mix butter and sugar, add oil, little at a time. Mix the ammonium carbonate with the flour seperately and blend all the ingredients together. Shape the dough into small cookies, put them on a baking paper sheet and bake for 20 minutes, 150 degrees C.

Sweet like rich chocolate from godiva...
Running off my tongue like syrupy strawberry drippings...
My Coco Chanel...a special blend...

Thanks.
