Make the Lemon Lavender Sugar:

• In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar with 1 tsp ground lavender and 1/2 tbsp lemon zest. Stir to combine, then set aside.

Prepare the Cookie Dough:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

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

• In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with 1 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

• Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until smooth.

• Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.

• Add 2 1/2 tbsp lemon zest and 1 tbsp ground lavender, mixing until fully incorporated.

Shape and Bake the Cookies:

• Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll each dough ball in the prepared lemon lavender sugar to coat.

• Place the coated dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

• Gently flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass or your palm.

• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.

• Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.

Make the Lemon Icing:

• In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach the desired consistency.

• Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies.

Serve:

• Once the icing has set, serve and enjoy these delicious Lemon Lavender Cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
