Lavender cookies according to a French recipe

• 130 g flour
• some salt

simply

Cream the butter and sugar until fluffy, add the egg, and continue stirring. Mix the flour with the salt, almonds, and lavender blossoms and add. Knead into a dough. If the dough is very sticky, add a little more flour. Form the dough into a log (the diameter depends on how big you want the cookies; they will increase by about two-thirds during baking). Wrap the log in foil and refrigerate for about 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (top/bottom heat). Cut the log into 0.5-1 cm thick slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake for about 12 minutes, then remove from the oven and let rest for about 5 minutes. If you like, you can use more blossoms, but I find the flavor is too intense, especially with fresh blossoms. These were always a popular gift, beautifully packaged.
