Ingredients

  • 1 pouch (17.5 oz) Betty Crocker™ Sugar Cookie Mix
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried lavender*
  • Grated peel of 1 lemon

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheet). Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
  • 2
    In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms. In mortar and pestle, grind lavender into tiny pieces. Add lavender and lemon peel to dough; mix well.
  • 3
    Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto cookie sheet.
  • 4
    Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 5 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

  • Adjust the amount of lavender to suit your taste. Remember, a little lavender goes a long way! If you use one teaspoon of dried lavender, the flavor from the lavender will come across more distinct. If you use ½ teaspoon, the cookies will have a more subtle lavender flavor and the lemon will be in the spotlight.
  • Keep your cookies the same size with a cookie scoop! Cookies bake better and more evenly if they are all the same size. If you don’t have a cookie scoop on hand, an ice cream scoop can do the job well too.
  • Take two lavender and lemon sugar cookies and use them to make a decadent ice cream sandwich! Add a scoop of vanilla for a classic taste or try a scoop of fruity ice cream such as strawberry or raspberry for a bright flavor to compliment the citrus from the lemon.
