*Makes 1 – 2 dozen, depending on size chosen.*

Items needed:

  • 2 microwave-safe bowls
  • Teaspoon
  • 1/4 cup – measuring cup
  • Beater
  • 1 Cookie pan for large biscuits OR 2 Cookie pans for small biscuits
  • Baking spray

Ingredients needed:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried, crushed lavender
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 stick butter
  • 3/4 cups sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  1. Lightly spray the cookie pan with baking spray, and set it aside while you’re combining ingredients.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients; including flour, baking soda, salt, lavender, cinnamon, and nutmeg, into one bowl and  mix them well with the beater.
  3. Put the stick of butter in a separate, microwavable bowl. Microwave for about 1 minute, or until the butter is soft enough to mix.
  4. Add the sugar to the butter, and mix for about 5 minutes, until a pasty texture forms.
  5. Add the egg and vanilla to the sugar and butter paste, and mix well.
  6. Once both bowls are mixed well, you’re ready to combine them. Add 1/4 cup of dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl, and slowly mix until you can no longer see dry ingredients. Continue adding 1/4 cup of dry ingredients to the mix, until all ingredients are combined.
  7. Preheat oven to 350*.
  8. While waiting for the oven to heat, form the dough into separate dough balls, and place evenly on cookie pan(s). An overflowing teaspoon of dough will make a large biscuit. A teaspoon of dough will make a smaller biscuit.
  9. Once the oven has reached 350*, the pan(s) will go in for approximately 10 minutes.
  10. It is important to continue checking on the baking process of the biscuits. I like to check around 5 minutes, 8 minutes, and then 10 minutes. A good way to tell if the biscuits are finished is to stick a toothpick in them. If nothing from the inside of the biscuits sticks to the toothpick, the biscuits are finished.
  11. The goal is a nice golden bottom, and soft biscuits.
  12. Allow biscuits to cool, then eat and enjoy!
