Le Finis Lavender Sugar Cookies
A staple cookie from the team at Lavender Blue and Le Finis.
This is a perennial favourite of Le Finis chef Terry Doel. She created it in the early years of Lavender Blue, the Orangeville catering company she co-owns with Vanessa Kreuzer under the same roof as Le Finis. This makes 24 to 36 cookies, depending on the size you cut out.
