Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F/230°C/gas 8. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

2. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until creamy.

3. Add the egg yolk, beating until just blended. Mix in the dry ingredients and lavender leaves.

4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead to form a soft dough. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch (5 mm).

5. Sprinkle the dough with the lavender flowers, pressing in the heads with a rolling pin. Use 2-inch (5-cm) cookie cutters to cut out the cookies.

6. Gather the dough scraps, re-roll, and continue cutting out cookies until all the dough is used. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies to the prepared cookie sheets.

7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until firm to the touch and lightly browned. Transfer to racks to cool.
