INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a food processor mix almond milk, melted butter and sugar. Let it stand for about 10 minutes for the sugar to dissolve, then pulse a few more times.
2. In a bowl mix flour, lavender flowers and cocoa powder. Then, gradually add to the mixture in the food processor and pulse a few times, until they form a coarse mixture. Do not over mix because it makes the dough tough and cookies will come out dense.
3. Add almonds and pulse 4 times.
4. Empty the mixture on a lightly floured surface (kitchen counter works just fine, not the titled kitchen counter though, it has to be a flat surface).
5. Gather up the dough and knead 2 or 3 times. Next, flatten the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to 375 °F.
7. Take out the cookie dough from the fridge and roll it out on a lightly floured flat surface (1/2 inch thick), cut out cookies with a 2 inch round mold and place them on a cookie sheet (cover cookie sheet with parchment paper 1st). You can also sprinkle a tiny amount of sea salt, this is optional, but I do that because it makes these cookies even more decadent!
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
9. Remove cookies to a cooling rack and let it cool for an hour before eating, serving or packaging.
