Lavender and coconut cookies

I made these this weekend. I got the recipe from a workshop on using flowers as food at a food and wine show last year. I followed the recipe even though it does not include sugar, which I found very strange. Afterwards, I decided it definitely needed some sweetening, so I generously sprinkled powdered sugar all over them! It is very simple to make! The recipe is from Crème de Cassis and is what I made, so half what is given.

Lavender and Coconut Cookies

For 30 cookies:
250g flour
50g butter
75g coconut butter
small tbsp dried lavender flowers
1 egg
1/3 tsp salt

Melt the butter and the coconut butter together carefully. Mix the flour, the flowers and the salt in a big bowl. Add the melted butters and mix. Add the eggs and use your hands to make the dough homogenous. Roll little balls between your palms (4x4cm) and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 180°C. Cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy! ^^
