Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Lemon Lavender Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 2 ¼ cups of all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. Whisk until thoroughly mixed.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together ¾ cup of salted butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of culinary lavender for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add 1 large egg to the butter mixture and blend until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined.
  6. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving 2 inches of space between each mound.
  7. Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  8. After baking, let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  9. In a bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and lavender extract until smooth.
  10. Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over each cookie.
