Time 30m

Yield 4 dozens

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest t. juice from 1-2 lemons
2 tablespoons juice from 1-2 lemons
2 teaspoons dried lavender (optional, but then they'd just be lemon cookies)
1 3/4 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 cubes
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a food processor , process the sugar, lemon zest and lavender until the sugar looks damp and the zest and lavender are fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt, then add to the sugar mixture; pulse to combine, about 10 1-second pulses.
  • Scatter the butter pieces over and pulse until the mixture resembles fine cornmeal, about 15 1-second pulses. In a measuring cup, beat together the lemon juice, egg yolk and vanilla. With the machine running, add the juice mixture in a slow stream (should take about 10 seconds) and continue processing until the dough forms into a ball, 10 to 15 seconds longer.
  • Turn the dough and any dry bits onto a clean work surface and gently gather into a ball. Working quickly, roll the dough into a cylinder about 12 inches; long and 1½" in diameter. Center the dough on a piece of parchment or plastic wrap and wrap tightly, twisting the ends together to seal. Chill the dough until firm and cold, about 45 minutes in the freezer or 2 hours in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F Line baking sheets with parchment paper or spray them with nonstick cooking spray. Seriously. Even if you think your pans are non-stick pans, and even if you're out of parchment paper and don't feel like running to the store in the middle of all this. Line the sheets with parchment paper! Otherwise your delicate cookies will stick to the pan and crumble when you try to remove them.
  • Remove the dough log from its wrapper and use a sharp knife to slice the dough into 3/8 inch; thick rounds. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 1 inch; apart. Bake until the centers of the cookies just begin to color and the edges are golden brown, about 10-12 minutes (the original recipe says 14-16 minutes, but 10 minutes was perfect for me, rotating the baking sheet halfway through the baking time. Cool on sheets about 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips and Tricks for Lemon Lavender Sugar Cookies

  • Use fresh lemons and lavender. Fresh lemon zest and lavender buds will give the cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lavender, you can use 1 teaspoon of dried lavender buds.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting. The cookies need to be completely cool before you can frost them. Otherwise, the frosting will melt.

Conclusion

These lemon lavender sugar cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. The cookies are light and fluffy with a delicate lemon and lavender flavor. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
