Baking with CBD is such an easy and fun way to get creative with your CBD intake. Normally, we consider cookies to be a special treat saved for special occasions.

However, a little indulgence every now and then is ok and these cookies are not loaded with ingredients that are terrible for you. So you can feel good about treating yourself to one (or two!), and you can feel great about sharing them with your family and friends. 

Why lemon and lavender? 

The combination of these two ingredients go together like summer and sunshine; they are a perfect pairing. Both ingredients have healing properties that help to both relax and energize you at the same time – like the feeling you get waking up naturally after a great night’s sleep. 

Lavender benefits

Lavender can act as a treatment for anxiety, depression, intestinal problems, insomnia, restlessness, and pain. We cover a little bit of this and where to buy cooking lavender in our Lavender Lemonade Blog Recipe.
