Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp culinary lavender finely chopped or ground
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tsp milk
  • Pinch of culinary lavender for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Baking Sheet

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp finely chopped or ground culinary lavender. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugar

  • In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add 1/4 cup honey and 1 tsp vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this keeps the cookies tender.

Step 5: Shape the Cookies

  • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls.
  • Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Gently press down on each ball with the bottom of a glass or your fingers to slightly flatten them.

Step 6: Bake the Cookies

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Make the Optional Glaze

  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1-2 tsp milk until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with a pinch of culinary lavender for garnish.
