Ingredients

Lemon Lavender Cookies

  • 2 sticks (226 grams) unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups (298 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 ¾ Cup (330 grams ) all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons dried lavender

Lemon Glaze:

  • ½ cup (57 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • heavy cream as needed

Instructions

Lemon Lavender Cookies:

  • In a stand mixer beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat to combine.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and lavender. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet and set it aside.
  • Scoop about 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons of lemon lavender cookie dough. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 3 inches apart.
  • 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:

  •  In a small bowl combine all of the ingredients. Whisk until free of lumps.
  • The glaze should be pretty thin and runny. So if it is too thick you can add more milk to thin it out.
  • Use a fork or a spoon to drizzle the glaze over each cookie.
