Lavender Lemon Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers
- 1 pinch salt, if desired
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Whisk or beat in the egg, lemon juice and almond extract until well blended.
In a separate bowl, mix together flour, lemon zest, lavender and salt. Add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture and blend together to form a soft ball. Drop by teaspoon onto a nonstick cookie sheet, then flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool, then sprinkle with powdered sugar.
