Lavender Macaroons
I have made thousands of these lavender macaroons, but I still get such a thrill when I press the button to grind the lavender in my coffee grinder. A soothing spa-like aroma fills the kitchen. The coconut, lavender, and almond blend so beautifully to make perfect little mounds that are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside.
