After taking a cooking class in Provence, my mother handed me this recipe. Pesto is known as pistou in French. This fresh vegetable soup tastes fantastic. In just one month, we’ve succeeded three times! It is very simple, filling, healthful, and tasty (even better the next day). With some crusty bread and wine, it can be served as a main course.

Ingredients
- cooking spray
- 2 cups buckwheat flour
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¾ cup brown rice flour
- ½ cup potato flour
- 2 tablespoons crushed lavender
- 1 tablespoon vanilla powder
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup canola oil
- 1 egg white
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Stir buckwheat flour, white sugar, brown rice flour, potato flour, lavender, vanilla powder, and baking powder together in a large bowl, making a well in the center. Whisk eggs, canola oil, and egg white together in a small bowl until well blended. Pour egg mixture into well and stir until dough is combined.
- Divide dough in half; form 2 logs with hands. Transfer logs to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven; reduce temperature to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Slicing gently to avoid crumbling, cut logs into 1/2- to 3/4-inch cookies with a sharp knife. Lay cookies on sides on the baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Turn cookies over and continue baking until hardened, about 10 minutes more. Remove from oven; cool.
- Parchment paper can be substituted for cooking spray.

I thought these were really delicious. I added two things,, almonds because to me it isnt a cookie without nuts and I drizzled it with chocolate. The lavender was a nice taste and my house smelled wonderful. They were easy to make and the alternative flours were not overly heavy nor bitter.. glad I found a recipe to use them up in
