Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and dried culinary lavender. Use a spoon or your fingers to gently crush the lavender into the sugar to release its aroma and oils.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and lavender-infused sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. 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.
Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to create a uniform thickness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your fragrant lavender cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
