| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2 cups |
| Unsalted butter | 1 cup (2 sticks) |
| Granulated sugar | 3/4 cup |
| Powdered sugar | 1/4 cup |
| Dried culinary lavender | 2 teaspoons |
| Lemon zest | 1 tablespoon |
| Vanilla extract | 1 teaspoon |
| Salt | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Lemon juice | 1 tablespoon |
| Optional: coarse sugar for topping | as needed |
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cookie removal.
- Prepare the Lavender: If you haven’t done so already, lightly crush the dried culinary lavender using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon to release its fragrance.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with granulated sugar and powdered sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Add Flavorings: Add the vanilla extract, dried lavender, lemon zest, and salt to the butter mixture. Pour in the lemon juice and mix until everything is well combined.
- Incorporate Flour: Gradually add the all-purpose flour to the wet ingredients, stirring just until the flour is combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Shape the Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and turn out the dough. Pat it into a disc shape and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and makes the dough easier to roll.
- Roll and Cut: Once chilled, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness on a floured surface. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with Sugar: If you’d like, sprinkle a little coarse sugar on top of the cookies for a decorative touch before baking.
- Bake: Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as baking times may vary.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve or Store: Enjoy your Lavender Lemon Shortbread Cookies fresh or store them in an airtight container for later consumption. They will keep well for about a week. Enjoy these delightful cookies with a cup of tea or as a festive holiday treat!

Lavender Lemon Macarons
Lavender Lemon Macarons are delicate French confections that combine a crisp, meringue shell with a rich, flavorful filling. Infused with the aromatic essence of culinary lavender and brightened by fresh lemon zest, these macarons are not only visually stunning but also provide a delightful burst of flavor. Perfect for holiday gifting or as an elegant treat for any occasion, they are sure to impress anyone who enjoys refined sweets.
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Almond flour | 1 cup |
| Powdered sugar | 1 ¾ cups |
| Egg whites | 3 large |
| Granulated sugar | ¼ cup |
| Dried culinary lavender | 1 teaspoon |
| Lemon zest | 1 tablespoon |
| Lemon juice | 1 tablespoon |
| Unsalted butter (softened) | ½ cup |
| Fresh lemon juice | 3 tablespoons |
| Additional powdered sugar (for buttercream) | 1 cup |
Cooking Instructions:
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. You can also use a silicone mat if you have one. If you want uniform macarons, you can trace circles on the parchment paper.
- Sift Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the almond flour and powdered sugar. Confirm there are no lumps, as this will help create a smooth shell. Set aside.
- Whip Egg Whites: In a clean, grease-free mixing bowl, whip the egg whites on medium speed until they start to foam (about 1-2 minutes). Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form (the mixture should be glossy and hold a peak when you lift the whisk).
- Add Lavender and Lemon Zest: Gently fold in the dried culinary lavender and lemon zest to the whipped egg whites. Be careful not to deflate the meringue.
- Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the sifted almond flour and powdered sugar mixture into the egg whites in three additions. Use a spatula to gently mix until the batter flows like lava and forms a figure-eight shape when lifted.
- Pipe Macaron Shells: Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe small rounds (about 1.5 inches in diameter) onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each macaron. Tap the baking sheets on the counter to release any air bubbles.
- Rest the Macarons: Allow the piped macarons to sit at room temperature for about 30-60 minutes, or until they form a skin on the surface and are no longer sticky to touch. This helps develop the signature “feet” of the macarons.
- Preheat the Oven: While the macarons are resting, preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).
- Bake the Macarons: Once they have developed a skin, bake the macarons in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. They are done when they have a hard shell and do not wobble when touched.
- Cool the Macarons: Once baked, remove the macarons from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Mix in the fresh lemon juice until well combined.
- Assemble the Macarons: Once the macaron shells are completely cool, pair them up by size. Pipe a small amount of the lemon buttercream filling onto the flat side of one shell, then gently press another shell on top to make a sandwich.
- Let Them Age: For best flavor and texture, let the assembled macarons sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. Bring to room temperature before enjoying for the best taste.
These Lavender Lemon Macarons will add a sophisticated touch to your holiday cookie collection, delighting everyone with their unique flavors and beautiful presentation. Enjoy!
