Instructions for Lemon Lavender Cookies Recipe

To begin making Lemon lavender Cookies first sift together the flours and baking powder.

Crush the lavender buds with 2 tablespoon sugar in a mortar pestle or mixer.

In a mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar till the mixture becomes light and creamy.

Add the honey, lavender-sugar mixture, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and mix well.

Gradually mix in the flour mixture till all of it is just incorporated. Do not knead.

Scrape the dough to make a ball and cover with plastic wrap.

Refrigerate it for 1 hour.

Pre-heat the oven to 160 degree celcius.Grease and line 2 baking sheets.

Lightly dust a working surface and roll out the dough into a large circle about 1/4 inches thick.

Use a cookie cutter (of your choice) and cut out the cookies into desired shapes. Re-use the scraps to roll out and make more cookies.

Carefully place them on the baking sheet and bake for about 12-15 minutes till the centre is just set and the edges just start browning (time may vary depending on the size and thickness of cookies).

Cool on a wire mesh.

Mix the icing sugar with the lemon juice and whisk to make a thick smooth paste.

Once the cookies have cooled drizzle or spread some icing sugar paste over them or decorate as you wish.

Allow the glaze to set completely before storing them in an airtight container.
