These lavender cookies are soft and buttery shortbread cookies filled with floral lavender and bright lemon flavor. Enjoy plain or with a sweet and tangy lemon glaze and more lavender.
Pour the sugar and dried lavender buds into a food processor. Process for 10-15 seconds. Add in the lemon zest and process until the texture of the lavender sugar resembles wet sand.
Using a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment or electric hand mixer with beaters, beat the room temperature butter and lemon lavender sugar until well combined.
Make the lemon glaze for the lavender cookies by mixing 2 - 3 tablespoons (30 ml) lemon juice with 1 - 1 ½ cups (120 - 180 g) of powdered sugar until well combined.
