Description
Delicious cookies with a hint of lemon and lavender.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (Make sure it’s at room temperature for easier mixing.)
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon culinary lavender (Make sure it’s food-grade.)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (Freshly grated from about 1 lemon.)
- 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice (Adjust to taste.)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- optional additional lemon zest (For garnish.)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the lemon zest, lavender, and salt. Mix to combine.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour into the butter-sugar mixture. Combine until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the dough into a disc about ½ inch thick. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll the dough out on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick.
- Cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely.
- For icing, combine powdered sugar with lemon juice until you reach a thick but pourable consistency. Drizzle over the cooled cookies and top with additional lemon zest, if desired.
Notes
- Make sure to use food-grade culinary lavender.
- Adjust the lemon juice based on your taste preference.
