Lavender & Lemon Cookie Recipe With Lemon Honey Icing

Lavender & Lemon Cookie Recipe With Lemon Honey Icing

I don’t know about you but winter kinda gets me down and really brings out the depression in me.  I felt this year, I would combat my doldrums by cooking with fresh herbs and flowers during these winter months. Lavender & Lemon Cookie Recipe brings my spring and summer into winter with me, to keep me company.

Well today, I was having a not so great day.  If you can believe it, I got a speeding ticket just five min.  after I received my new drivers licence. (a great omen) A driver’s license that took me three trips to the DMV to receive. These days,  I believe it’s harder to stay as a legal resident in this country than it is to get into this country. That’s another blog though, I digress. So having a bad day, I decided to sweeten my disposition and improve my attitude by inventing these lovely yum yums! They have been neighbor and husband approved and I hope you like them too. Enjoy.

BA’s cooking tips for the Lavender Lemon Cookie Recipe~

Spend the extra bucks and use a Meyers lemon. I lightly ice my cookies, so the icing recipe will actually do two batches of cookies. You can always put the extra in a container and save for a later time or just double up on the cookie recipe and do two batches at once, your neighbors and Co-workers will love you!

Lavender & Lemon Cookies

• Preheat your oven to 375
• Mix together the following ingredients
•     1/2 cup of soft butter
•     2 eggs
•     1 cup raw sugar ( turbinado)
•     2 tsp lavender crushed (or to taste, I tend to go heavy)
•     2 tsp lemon zest (or to taste, I tend to go heavy) *save the lemon, you will need it for the icing
•     1 1/2 cups flour
•     2 tsp baking powder
•     1/4 tsp salt
• on un-greased baking sheet, use teaspoon to doll out batter. You can set them fairly close, as they will not spread.  Also you may want to pat the tops down as they will stay in shape the way you put them on the sheet. Cook for 10 min.

Honey Lemon Icing

• mix the following ingredients in a bowl.
• 1 tablespoon of butter softened
• 2 cups of powdered sugar
• Add 2 tsp of lemon zest  (or to taste)
• 2 tablespoons of honey (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon of fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 5 tablespoons of water

♦◊♦  If you find your icing is really thick, just thin it with a little more lemon or water as you go.
