Time 1h45m

Yield about 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Grated zest of 1 lemon
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dried lavender
1/2 cup coarse sugar
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Make the cookies: Beat the butter, granulated sugar and honey in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in
  • the egg, vanilla and lemon zest. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour, baking soda and salt until the dough comes together. Cover and refrigerate until firm, 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Grind the lavender in a spice grinder until crumbly. Mix with the coarse sugar in a medium bowl.
  • Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, then roll in the lavender sugar; arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are browned around the edges, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, make the filling: Beat the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on high speed until light, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium; beat in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Spread the filling on half the cookies (about 1 teaspoon per cookie). Sandwich with the remaining cookies.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after I make something like angel food cake, and these cookies are the perfect way to use them up.

I'm allergic to lavender, so I had to leave it out of the recipe. The cookies were still good, but I think they would have been even better with the lavender.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
