Lemon Lavender Cookies

It is done.

I used more butter and more salt.  The 2 TB lavender called for was rather overpowering.  I recommend 1 TB.

(adapted from Have Cake, Will Travel)

Ingredients

1/2 c + 2 TB nondairy butter

3/4 c raw sugar

zest and juice of one lemon 

1 TB lavender, dried

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/2 c flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

2 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp sea salt

2 TB nondairy milk, as needed

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350*.  Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
2. Cream together butter and sugar. Stir in lemon juice and zest, lavender, and vanilla.
3. In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
4. Fold dry ingredients into wet. Add milk, as needed.
5. Scoop up 1 1/2 to 2 TB worth of dough.  Roll into balls, then place on baking sheet.  Flatten a little, as the cookies don’t spread a lot while baking.
6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. If you want chewier cookies, aim for 12 minutes.  Wait 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.  Makes about 4 dozen small cookies.
