These are a lovely cookie to serve with tea or coffee. I always double the recipe as 12 just aren't enough.
Ingredients

How to make it
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Mix butter, sugar and vanilla together in a large bowl until creamy.
- Add pecans, parmesan cheese, and black pepper.
- Note: this is where I add the fresh lavender.
- Blend well.
- Add flour, cornmeal and salt.
- Blend.
- Form into 12 rounds and flatten with your hands.
- Place them on a greased baking sheet or a Silpat mat.
- I like to sprinkle a tiny bit of granulated sugar on top of the cookies before baking.
- Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the cookies are a light golden colour.
- Allow them to cool on a wire rack.
- If these cookies aren't eaten right away, they will keep well in an airtight container for a couple of days.
