Lavender Honey Cookies — Great British Baking Show

November 17, 2019 by Danielle Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

Hello! In the spirt of the great british bake off, season 7 coming to an end on Netflix earlier this month, I wanted to share a cookie, or biscuit recipe that I made for our viewing party. Mary Barry’s Lavender honey Cookies! and yes, we had people over to celebrate the finally of season 7 — we’re nerds and it’s ok.

These cookies were inspired by Mary Berry, who is no longer on the show but an absolute staple when it comes to British inspired baking and food. I took just the smallest amount of liberty with the recipe, so it is really hers just pumped up with some honey. You can find her original recipe in her cookbook that I’ve linked below. If you love the show, or just want to give something different a try, I absolutely recommend her cookbook.

Get it here!

So this is a very basic cookie recipe, and super easy to make. The biggest factor in making this dough is allowing it the appropriate time to chill in the fridge. Once you form the cookies into logs, you really need to let it chill for at least 30 minutes.

I am not normally a fan of cookie dough’s that I have to chill, because patience is not a virtue I hold, but in this case I definitely recommend it. These cookies are also super easy to freeze and then bake later. Perfect for the upcoming holidays or for when you just want to make a couple to have with some tea.

I also used dried lavender for this recipe, in retrospect I would probably have tried to find fresh as I think it would have changed the dynamic of the cookie, but i till really enjoyed the dried lavender version. So if you have dried lavender on hand, use that! Just watch how much you put in as dried is much stronger in flavor than fresh.

So go forth and bake these lavender honey cookies! Have fun with it and make sure to check out the Great British Baking Show if you haven’t already. Totally binge worthy content. 🙂
