Lavender Cookies

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 300F/150C. Grease a large cookie sheet (or line with parchment paper).

2. 2

   Place lavender and sugar in a food processor and pulse to combine. Process until sugar and lavender are very fine.

3. 3

   Add butter and lemon zest, and pulse until light and fluffy. Transfer to a large bowl. Add flour and mix until a stiff dough forms.

4. 4

   Place the dough on a sheet of waxed paper. Cover with another sheet of waxed paper, and roll out to 1/8-1/4 inch or 3-5 mm thick with a rolling pin. Remove the top sheet of paper and cut circles with a cookie cutter (I use either 1, 1.5, or 2-inch cutters). Re-knead and roll out the leftover bits to make more.

5. 5

   Using a lifter/spatula, place cookies on the cookie sheet and lightly prick all over with a fork. Sprinkle cookies with sugar, and place on the middle rack of oven, baking cookies for 12-15 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and cool on the sheet for 2-3 minutes, then cool completely on a rack .
