Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, honey, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and dried lavender buds to the mixture, and mix until evenly incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and oats.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or almonds for added crunch.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Make sure not to overbake the cookies to keep them soft in the center.
If you prefer a stronger lavender flavor, you can increase the amount of lavender buds slightly.
For a more refined touch, you can drizzle extra honey over the cooled cookies.
