Lavender Oatmeal Cookies
Recipe from Darlene Yu
When I was younger, I loved experimenting with different oatmeal cookie flavors—cookies that felt like home. One day, I decided to try lavender oatmeal cookies, and my partner said, "If I could taste the color purple, this is what it would taste like!" We shared a good laugh, and I even got a little teary-eyed. That moment captured the essence of home and is a memory I’ll always treasure. Since then, these cookies have become a staple in our household.
