Originating from northeastern France, Madeleines are sponge cake-like cookies with a shell shape that are perfect for tea time. Lavender Madeleines are an elegant and unique twist on the traditional Madeleines recipe. These delicate and fragrant cookies are infused with fresh lavender flowers that provide a satisfying and aromatic taste and a pleasant aroma. Lavender Madeleines can be served with tea, coffee or even a glass of champagne - perfect for any event or special occasion.

Instructions

1.	In a food processor, blend together sugar and lavender flowers until the flowers are finely chopped and mixture is fragrant.
2.	In a mixing bowl, whisk melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract and lavender mixture until frothy.
3.	Fold in the flour until just combined and let the batter rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
4.	Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray madeleine mold with cooking spray and dust with flour.
5.	Spoon 1 tablespoon of the batter into each shell. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
6.	Gently remove the madeleines from the mold and dust with confectioners' sugar.
