  • Add the large egg to the creamed mixture and mix thoroughly.
  • Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Using a tablespoon, drop balls of dough onto your prepared baking sheets, spaced 2 inches apart.
  • Gently flatten each dough ball to about ⅓ inch thickness.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Mix the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a bowl to prepare the glaze.
  • Spoon the glaze over the cooled cookies, garnishing with lavender buds and lemon zest if desired.

Notes

Chill the dough up to 24 hours for improved flavor and shape retention. Use culinary-grade lavender for optimal flavor.
