Lemon Lavender cookies

This recipe is based on a 1-2-3 cookie recipe, measuring ingredients on a scale.
Set oven at 350 F

170 grams white sugar (1)
340 grams butter, room temp. (2)
510 grams all purpose flour (3)
1 large egg
juice and zest of one large lemon
5 ml vanilla
25 ml dried lavender (about 1.5 tablespoons)

Cream butter and sugar
Add egg and beat
Add lemon juice and zest, vanilla and whip until incorporated
Add lavender and mix well.
Add flour gradually until it is all incorporated.

Spoon out 1 inch (2.5 cm) balls (I use a small ice cream scoop), place on cookie sheet and press to between 1/2 to 1/4 inch high. Bake until cooked - about fifteen minutes. This recipe should make about 40 cookies depending on how large you make the cookies.

Have fun
Harvey
