I only have one small English lavender plant in my garden, but it's enough for me to bake a few batches of these cookies every year. You can buy culinary lavender already dry, but I dry my own (see drying hints below). If you're harvesting your own edible garden, you may want to check what type of lavender you have. English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) tends to be hardier and is better for culinary purposes because it is milder and less soapy tasting. More about lavender can be found here. Lavender pairs well with lemon and these cookies are delicious, especially glazed!
