Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon flax seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• ¾ cup water, or as needed
• ¼ cup whole wheat flour
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• ¼ cup steel cut oats
• 8 large dandelion blossoms, yellow petals only

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, flax, chia seeds, and dandelion petals in a bowl. Crush lavender flowers with fingers; add to flour mixture. Stir in vanilla extract and enough water to create a moist dough that holds together when squeezed. Portion dough into 6 cookies and arrange on prepared baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in preheated oven until cookies are dry and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool before removing from baking sheet.
