Ingredients
- ¾ salted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ¼ cup golden maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour (unbleached & unenriched)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the softened butter with the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Add the lavender & lemon zest, whip for another few seconds to evenly combine.
- Add remaining ingredients to the mixing bowl.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or a silicone baking mat).
- Once dough is formed (don't over mix), scoop ~2 tablespoons full with hands or a scooper and roll into balls.
- Line the balls on the baking sheet, giving some space between each, though this recipe does not spread much.
- Press cookies down with finger tips to create roughly ½ inch in width (again, they don't spread much).
- Bake for 11-12 minutes or until edges become slightly golden in color.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle with additional dried lavender as a garnish (may need to lightly press them into the cookie to stick).
- Allow to cool before removing.
- Store at room temperature. Note- the longer these cookies are stored, the more the lavender flavor enhances
