Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and slightly pale, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Sprinkle in the dried lavender buds and lemon zest. Stir gently to distribute evenly.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.

Pour in the lemon juice and fold it in quickly.

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.

Optional: sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through, until pale golden at edges but still soft in the middle.

Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
