Instructions

  1. 1 Combine flour, seasoned salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until evenly combined; set aside. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl, then stir in dandelion blossoms until completely coated.
  2. 2 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove half of the dandelions from egg mixture, and allow the excess egg to drip away. Toss in flour until completely coated, then remove and toss between your hands to allow excess flour to fall away. Cook coated dandelions in the melted butter until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining dandelions.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
  2. 2 Combine flour, oats, brown sugar, flax, chia seeds, and dandelion petals in a bowl. Crush lavender flowers with fingers; add to flour mixture. Stir in vanilla extract and enough water to create a moist dough that holds together when squeezed. Portion dough into 6 cookies and arrange on prepared baking sheet.
  3. 3 Bake in preheated oven until cookies are dry and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Allow to cool before removing from baking sheet.
