Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dried culinary lavender
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 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.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Using a mixer, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
Gently stir in the dried culinary lavender, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the wet mixture.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low just until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, form 1-inch dough balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Slightly flatten each ball using the back of a spoon or your fingers to form a disc shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain pale and soft.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, optionally dust the tops of the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve and enjoy your Lemon Lavender Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
