    Ingredients for Lemon Lavender Cookies

    Ingredients for the lemon lavender cookies:

    • Unsalted butter. I always make sure to use unsalted butter when baking because there is no “standard” for the amount of salt they can add to butter. So if you add salt to a recipe and then use salted butter you could end up with a very salty end product.
    • Granulated sugar. This will sweeten the cookie dough and make it chewier.
    • Eggs. It will be easier to incorporate the eggs into the batter if they are room temperature.
    • Vanilla extract. Vanilla is a must in baked goods just like salt. Real vanilla adds a better flavor than imitation vanilla.
    • Lemon Juice. This will add flavor to the lemon lavender cookies.
    • Lemon Zest. This will also add flavor to the cookies.
    • All-purpose flour. Measuring the flour correctly is very important. I suggest weighing your flour out (I use this scale). If you want to use a measuring cup, make sure you spoon the flour into the cup and level it off with a knife. Don’t use the cup to scoop directly from the flour.
    • Baking soda. This will help the cookies rise.
    • Baking powder. This also helps the cookies rise.
    • Salt. Salt is a must in baked goods. It will help to balance out the sweetness and improve the overall flavor.
    • Dried Lavender. This is the lavender I used.

    Ingredients for lemon glaze:

    • Powdered Sugar. This will sweeten the glaze and hold it together.
    • Lemon Juice. This will flavor the glaze. Get more of that lemon flavor in my Lemony Ricotta Cookies!
    • Heavy Cream. This will bring the lemon glaze together and make it creamy.

    How to make Lemon Lavender Cookies

    Lemon Lavender Cookies

    STEP 1: In a stand mixer beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes.

    STEP 2: Add the eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat to combine.

    the sugar and wet ingredients combined in a bowl

    STEP 3: Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and lavender. Whisk to combine.

    the dry ingredients combined in a bowl

    STEP 4: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

    STEP 5: Chill the dough for 30 minutes.

    STEP 6: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet and set it aside.

    STEP 7: Scoop about 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of lemon lavender cookie dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 3 inches apart.

    STEP 8: Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the cookie sheet.

    Lemon Glaze

    STEP 1: In a small bowl combine all of the ingredients. Whisk until free of lumps.

    STEP 2: The glaze should be pretty thin and runny. So if it is too thick you can add more milk to thin it out.

    STEP 3: Use a fork or a spoon to drizzle the glaze over each cookie.

      Excellent recipe. I made these and packaged them in clear bags with tags and bows (inspired by the Meghan Sussex cooking show) and gave them out as gifts. My thirty something son even loved them. I added dried lavender sprinkles on top of the glaze. Wish I could post a picture.
