Scoop about 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Place the lemon and lavender cookie balls onto the lined baking sheet.

Bake the lavender and lemon sugar cookies for 10 - 12 minutes. The bottom of the cookies will be very lightly golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven onto a cooling rack.
