This lavender and honey dessert is a popular finger snack at parties and family gatherings. The honey provides a lovely flavor, and all the sweetness these cookies need. The lemon icing adds a little extra zing. If you don’t want the icing, consider just drizzling the Ninja Honey Bee honey over the top of the cookie.
