Last weekend I got some lavender honey from the local farmer's market which I wanted to use somehow in baking. Yesterday I had the brilliant idea to combine it with some rosewater that I purchased in Bulgaria for a flowerific flavored treat. I love how the smallest drop of rosewater really permeates the flavor of whatever it is added to. My next challenge will be to use it in a savory dish, a curry maybe?
3 tablespoons butter (room temperature)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup lavender honey
1 egg
1/2 tablespoon rosewater
1/2 tablespoon water
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cup oatmeal
1/3 cup walnuts (chopped)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets. Mix together butter, brown sugar, honey, egg, rosewater, and water in a mixer with a paddle attachment. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, and baking soda. Mix in the oatmeal. Next, add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir together well. Add the walnuts and stir until the texture is consistent. Drop about 1 tablespoon of dough on the cookie sheet for each cookie. Remember that the cookies will spread when they are baking, so leave plenty of room between each one. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes.
