These cookies turn an ordinary afternoon into something special with their sophisticated flavor profile

Chopping the lavender finely prevents large floral pieces that can overwhelm each bite
Overbaking dries them out, so pull them from the oven when centers look slightly underdone
The dough needs at least 30 minutes of chilling if your kitchen runs warm
