Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 sticks salted butter, at cool room temperature
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 3 medium lemons)
  • 2 tbsp dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1 large egg, at cool room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 to 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp lavender extract (optional)
  • 3 to 4 drops of purple food coloring
  • lavender buds, to garnish, if desired
  • lemon zest, to garnish, if desired

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and baking powder; set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, lemon zest, and lavender until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg until well combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined; the dough should hold together.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to drop tablespoon-sized balls onto prepared sheets, spacing them about two inches apart.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly, then bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden.
  8. Cool on sheets for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice until thick yet pourable; drizzle over cooled cookies.
