Lavender And Lemon Cookies Recipes

LAVENDER AND LEMON COOKIES

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a food processor, pulse together the flours, arrowroot, sugar, lavender, salt and baking soda.
• Add the butter and lemon zest. Pulse until the mixture forms a coarse meal. Add the honey and lemon juice. Pulse until the mixture forms a soft dough. Form the dough into 1-inch round balls and press into discs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/4-inch thick. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until light brown around the edges, 9 to 11 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely, about 15 minutes.

LAVENDER-LEMON CURD THUMBPRINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a bowl. Mix in egg yolks, lavender, vanilla, and almond extract until combined.
• Whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt in a separate bowl. Add to butter mixture and mix to combine.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Use your thumb (or another utensil, like the bottom of a shot glass) to make indentations in the center of each cookie. Add enough lemon curd to completely fill each indentation. Place baking sheets in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Remove baking sheets from refrigerator and lightly drizzle each cookie with honey.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookies begin to turn golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to cooling rack.
