Lemon Lavender Cookies
Lemon Lavender Cookies are sweet lemon sugar cookies with a hint of lavender flavor. Perfect for spring parties and holidays.
Ingredients
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
Zest of 1 large lemon
1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lavender in a bowl. Mix well with your fingers so the oils from the lemon zest and lavender infuse the sugar with flavor. Set aside.
- Whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda in another bowl. Set aside.
- Add softened butter to the mixing bowl, then pour in the sugar/zest/lavender mixture and beat on high speed for one minute.
- Add lemon juice, egg, and vanilla extract and beat again until combined.
- With the motor running on low, slowly add flour mixture to mixing bowl, and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Portion cookie dough with a scoop into approximately 24 balls.
- Roll each portion in remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, then lay on prepared cookie sheet. (We baked 8 cookies per batch – the cookies do spread a bit.)
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should be set but will seem slightly underdone in the middle.
- Let cool on the baking sheets for five minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to finish cooling.
