Vegan Lavender Cookies

Hey! How are you?
Lately I've been obsessed with lavender, I bought some of it dried and wow it's really amazing and I've been trying it on everything and that's why today I bring you a recipe for vegan lavender cookies.
This makes a ton of cookies, I don't know exactly how many, sorry. I got the lavender at a local organic store.
You'll need:
  • 3 packs of Stevia.
  • The equivaent of 2 eggs, using the replacement of your choice.
  • 2 cups of flour.
  • 1/4 cup of soy milk, I used vanilla.
  • 4 tablespoons of agave nectar.
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder.
  • 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • 3 tablespoons of dried lavander.
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • 1 teaspoon of nutmeg.
  • 1/4 cup of canola oil. 
Here's everything I used except the milk because I forgot.

As the egg replacer I used:
  •  2 teaspoons of baking powder.
  • 2 tablespoons of oil.
  • 1 tablespoon sof oil
 That replaces 1 egg, so I doubled everything and put it in a little bowl, mixed and put it aside.


In a large bowl mix the oil, agave nectar, and stevia.


Add the egg replacement and mix.
In a bowl add all the reamining dry ingredients and mix being careful not to spill anything.



Then sift the dry mixture over your liquid mixture.



Then add the milk and mix. It should look like this.


Now chop the lavender as small as you can. And add it in.


Mix it and you should have a sticky dough.
Now, I meant to take photos of the next steps but it was just too messy because I was working the dough with my hands.
So, next form a ball with the dough, wrap it in plastic and put it in the freezer overnight if you can. I was too impatient and put it in the freezer for 2 hours.
Pre-heat the oven at 190 C/375 F Then put some flour in a cutting board, place the dough and roll it. I used some heart cookie cutters that I had laying around but you can do any shape you want. This dough was enough to fill two trays.
Bake for 8 minutes and then turn the oven off, leave for another minute and take them out. They might look saggy and soft but once they cool off they will harden.
                      

I thought my little cousins weren't gonna like them because they weren't chocolate but they loved them and fought for the last one! So for me, that was a success.
I really hoped you liked the recipe! If you make them let me know in a comment!
