Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and culinary lavender until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Scoop portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between cookies.
  • Flatten each dough ball to about a third of an inch thick.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
