Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

In a bowl, whisk together the flour and salt

In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy

Add the dried lavender flowers, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture

Mix well

Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms

Scoop small portions of the dough and roll them into bite-sized balls

Place them on the prepared baking sheet

Use a fork to gently flatten each ball and create a crisscross pattern on top

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden

Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely

Once the cookies are completely cool, you can dust them with a little extra powdered sugar if desired
