The cool weather on Saturday was perfect for baking, so I made a big batch of lavender cookies.
The ingredients are almost prettier than the finished product! Aside from the lavender, they're all really basic- flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla. The lavender doesn't make the cookies taste overwhelming or flowery in any way. They just taste like really good sugar cookies with a little something extra.
As a little bit of catch up, I also need to mention The Masque of the Black Tulip by Lauren Willig. I finished it a couple of weeks ago, but have been putting off posting about it because I don't have that much to say. It's the sequel to The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, which I wrote about in one of my first posts. In a nutshell, I had picked up the second in the series from the dollar table at B&N, so I got the first one from the library. Positioned as historical mystery meets chick lit, I thought I would like the first book until it devolved into a romance novel. I pretty much felt the same about The Masque of the Black Tulip and probably won't be reading any more of this series.

What would you recommend to pair with the lavender cookies-milk or tea? Yum!
