Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Beat in the egg, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, chopped lavender, baking powder, and salt.
