Lavender Lemon Poppy Cookies

decadent, thin, crisp, floral

Does it look like a five year old decorated them? Sure. But are they cute? Absolutely.

Ingredients:

For the cookies:

• ½ stick, 4 tbsp, unsalted butter, half melted

• 1/3 cup white sugar

• 1 egg

• 1.5-2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 1 tsp poppy seeds

• 3/4 tsp lavender extract

For the glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

• 1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, poppy seeds, salt, and lavender extract together.

3. Mix in the egg until fully combined.

4. Gradually fold in 1 cup of flour, adding more flour in 1/4 cup increments until your dough doesn't stick to your fingers when poked.

5. On a parchment paper-lined baking pan, flatten out one tbsp of cookie dough per cookie, and shape with cookie cutters, the rim of a cup, or a knife.

6. Bake for 10-15 minutes.

7. While the cookies bake, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until well combined.

8. Remove the cookies from the oven and set them on a baking rack for 10 minutes.

9. Using a small piping tip, decorate your cookies with the glaze, and sprinkle on remaining poppy seeds.

10. Voila! Your cookies are ready to be enjoyed :)
