Time 4h

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 ½ cups butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 extra large egg
1 extra large egg yolk
3 ½ teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
2 ½ teaspoons crushed dried lavender flowers
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Beat butter and sugar in the work bowl of a stand mixer until mixture is creamy; beat egg, egg yolk, lemon zest, lavender, and vanilla extract into butter-sugar mixture at low speed. Beat flour into moist ingredients, 1 cup at a time, to make a workable dough. Form dough into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 3 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Roll dough out on a floured work surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. Cut dough into shapes using cookie cutters and place cookies onto baking sheets.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until firm, 9 to 10 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on sheets for 2 to 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to finish cooling.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I also found the lavender flavor to be a bit overpowering.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover citrus zest. They're also a nice change from the usual chocolate chip or oatmeal cookies. I love the way the lavender and citrus flavors complement each other.

I've never been a big fan of lavender, but these cookies changed my mind. The lavender flavor is subtle and pairs perfectly with the citrus. I will definitely be making these again.
