Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried culinary lavender (finely ground)
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, powdered sugar, ground lavender, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In another bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy (about 1-2 minutes). Add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly.
  3. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix!
  4. Divide the dough into two portions, flatten each into a disc, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out one portion of dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4-inch thickness.
  6. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes, transferring them to the prepared baking sheets. Gather and re-roll scraps as needed.
  7. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just golden. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Beat the butter until smooth, then gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, zest, and salt. Mix until creamy and well combined.
  9. Spread or pipe a generous layer of filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Gently press another cookie on top to create a sandwich.
  10. Repeat until all cookies are assembled, and enjoy!

Notes

Chill the dough to prevent spreading, sift powdered sugar for smooth filling, and adjust lavender to taste for a balanced flavor.
