Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons culinary lavender buds
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Using a mortar and pestle or a small grinder, gently crush the culinary lavender buds to release their oils and fragrance.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
Fold the crushed lavender buds into the cookie dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just lightly golden (do not overbake).
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the fully cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
