Bathwater Cookies?!?!?!

Yep, I did mean to put that title there.  I posted a "tea-time treat" recipe last Thursday for Lavender Cookies.  Finally got around to making those yesterday...... TOO MUCH BAKING SODA in the recipe!  Icky, icky aftertaste- reminded me of brushing my teeth with baking soda. 

 The bathwater thing came from my daughter, Sarah.  I often put Lavender essential oil in their bath- so she thought the cookies tasted like bathwater!  I told her I thought that the cookies did taste rather nasty, but was more disgusted that she knew what her bathwater tasted like! 

Sooo.....Dalyn if you assigned these cookies for home-ec. , please curve the grade in a big way.  Sorry, I shouldn't have posted a recipe I hadn't tried first.  Live and learn! 

By the way, I did like the lavender, lemon, mint combo- so, next time I'll use 1/2 as much baking soda or perhaps just make sugar cookies and add in the herbs and lemon. 

I know the feeling

and the taste. I made some lemon bars once, and put baking soda, not powder in and they tasted like soap. Yuck.
