2. In a separate bowl, whisk flour, lavender, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture.

3. Once mixed, drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto baking sheets lightly coated with cooking spray.

4. Bake until golden brown, 8-10 minutes. Cool 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.

Lemon Glaze<br />
