Lemon Verbena and Walnut Cookies

July 10, 2015 By Hana

Lemon Verbena Walnut Cookies

My lovely friend has a beautiful lemon verbena plant and has brought some over this week for me to make something for my blog. It’s the first time that I’ve used a lemon verbena, it’s  such a wonderfully fragrant plant and a pleasure to cook with. Naturally I had to bake something with it and because I had so much positive feedback from all of you about my Buckwheat, Almond and Cardamom Cookies I have decided to make a different version of them.

Lemon Verbena Walnut Cookies

This time I have used a mix of ground walnuts, buckwheat, coconut, lemon zest and the lovely fresh lemon verbena leaves. The cookies are very lightly sweetened, fragrant and nicely crunchy. If you can’t find any fresh lemon verbena, you could add some dried or just add lots more lemon zest to the dough. I do hope you will enjoy these:)
