Ingredients
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
¾ cup sugar
-
¼ cup honey
-
1 large egg
-
2 teaspoons dried lavender buds
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup Rice Krispies cereal (or any crispy rice cereal)
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add honey and egg, and beat until well combined.
-
Add Flavors: Stir in dried lavender buds and vanilla extract.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Add Crunch: Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Flatten Slightly: Gently press each cookie ball down with the back of a spoon or your fingers to slightly flatten them.
-
Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
-
Lavender Tip: Be sure to use culinary-grade lavender buds for a safe, edible version.
-
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
-
For Extra Flavor: Drizzle a little more honey over the cookies after baking for added sweetness.
