1
Mix butter, sugar, honey, vanilla, lemon zest and egg together in large mixing bowl. Combine flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl. Add dry ingredients to the honey mixture and stir until well combined. Refrigerate until dough has hardened, about 1 hour.
2
Preheat oven to 375F. Scoop out dough and roll into 1-inch balls, then roll the balls in sugar and press lightly to slightly flatten them. Place cookies on parchment-covered baking sheets and bake for 7-8 minutes. Remove cookies from the sheet immediately and cool on a rack.
3
Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.

Note: I've found lavender sugar at the local Charleston Farmer's Market, but you can buy it online, or you can make your own by combining 1 cup sugar with 1.5 tablespoons lavender and half a vanilla bean. Let the sugar mixture sit for 3-4 weeks, shaking the container occasionally, before using.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
