These delicate lemon lavender cookies are a delightful treat, perfect for afternoon tea or a special occasion. The subtle floral notes of lavender complement the bright citrus flavor of lemon beautifully.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the lemon zest and lavender.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
