Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, culinary lavender, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet with space in between.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let them cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Making the Filling
- For the Lemon Buttercream Filling, beat together the softened butter, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy.
Assembly
- Once the cookies are cool, spread a generous amount of lemon buttercream on the bottom of half of the cookies and top them with the other half to create a sandwich.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. Customize the filling with lemon curd or cream cheese frosting for variety.
