Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened2/3 cup sugar1 large egg, room temperature1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers1 tablespoon grated lemon zest1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg, lavender and lemon zest. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; gradually beat into creamed mixture. Divide dough in half. Shape each into a disk; cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm enough to roll.

Preheat oven to 350°. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion of dough to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 1-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Sprinkle with additional sugar.

Bake until bottoms are light brown, 9-11 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool. Store in airtight containers.
