Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, dried lavender, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and milk to the butter mixture and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using the bottom of a glass or your palm, gently flatten each dough ball slightly to form a disk shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden. The centers should remain soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, sift powdered sugar over the cooled cookies for a decorative touch and an extra hint of sweetness.
Serve the lavender cookies with your favorite tea or enjoy them as a stand-alone treat. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
