Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp dried lavender
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for rolling)
- Lemon curd or jam of your choice (for sandwiching)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in the lemon zest and dried lavender until evenly incorporated.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until the dough comes together.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter, and roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat.
- Place the dough balls on a baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use a fork to gently flatten each ball.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, sandwich them with a layer of lemon curd or your favorite jam.
Notes
- If you prefer a stronger lavender flavor, you can increase the dried lavender to 1.5 tablespoons.
- For a more refined look, dust the finished sandwich cookies with a bit of powdered sugar before serving.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
- Feel free to use any fruit jam you prefer in place of lemon curd, such as raspberry or strawberry, for a twist.
