Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the sugar and dried culinary lavender. Use a spoon or your fingers to gently crush the lavender into the sugar to release its aroma and oils.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and lavender-infused sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to create a uniform thickness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.

Step 10

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy your fragrant lavender cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
