First, let's get started with the ingredients for our delicious cookie recipe. You'll need:

7 ounces of butter

Mix the lavender and lemon zest with sugar and let it emulsify for 15 minutes. 

Next, cream the butter and sugar together and add in the egg, honey, and other delicious flavors. In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients and gently add them to the wet mixture. Don't forget to add the finely chopped lemon for an extra zing!

Now, it's time to divide the dough into five portions and use our ENCO food coloring gels to paint each portion. We have Bright Blue, Bright Pink, Lemon Yellow, and Avocado Heart to choose from. Shape each portion into small balls and create your Flowers Cookies by pressing the dough into flower-shaped cavities. Fill them up with your desired colors and bake them to perfection.
