Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 tablespoons Dried culinary lavender flowers
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a small food processor or spice grinder, pulse the dried lavender flowers with 2 tablespoons of the granulated sugar until the lavender is finely ground. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and the lavender sugar mixture.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and the remaining granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 5

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed. Continue mixing until a soft dough forms.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Using the back of a fork, gently flatten each cookie to create a slight crisscross pattern on top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake.

Step 10

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
