Fat + Flour's Vegan Lemon Lavender Cookies
Briefly

In response to the 2022 nationwide egg shortage caused by bird flu, a classic Fat + Flour cookie recipe was veganized. This effort resulted in a surprisingly popular flavor combination of lemon and lavender among customers. Careful consideration was taken in the flavoring process to avoid any soapy undertones, achieved by exclusively using lavender flowers instead of essential oils, ensuring a delightful and floral experience in the cookies.
This is a classic Fat + Flour cookie that we converted to vegan during a nationwide egg shortage due to the bird flu of 2022 that caused the prices of eggs to triple overnight. Unexpectedly, this flavor has become a much-loved favorite by my customers.
The combination of lemon and lavender can edge on soapy, so to make sure this flavor comes through as floral and fruity in a delicious way, we only use lavender flowers, never essential oil.
