Cooking Steps:
- Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will make certain that your cookies bake evenly and have the right texture.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the unsalted butter until it’s creamy. Gradually add the 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and continue mixing until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add Vanilla: Pour in the 1 tsp of vanilla extract and mix until it’s fully incorporated into the butter and sugar mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 cups of all-purpose flour and the finely chopped nuts. This step helps evenly distribute the nuts throughout the dough.
- Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet: Gradually add the flour-nut mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough cookies.
- Shape the Cookies: Using your hands, scoop out small portions of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the balls on an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes, or until the bottoms are lightly golden. The tops should remain pale.
- Cool: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This allows them to set before transferring.

Cooking Steps:
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter until it’s smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture becomes light and airy.
- Incorporate Vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until it’s well blended with the butter-sugar mixture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, dried culinary lavender, and salt to verify that the lavender is evenly distributed throughout your dough.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring gently until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this helps keep the cookies tender.
- Shape the Cookies: Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place each cookie ball onto a lined baking sheet, making sure to leave enough space for them to spread while baking.
- Bake: Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. The edges should be lightly golden and the centers will still be soft.
- Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with Sugar: Once cooled, roll the cookies in additional powdered sugar to give them their signature finish and enhance their presentation.
