Ingredients

1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Vegan Butter room temp
1/2 Cup Vegan Powdered Sugar
2 Tsp Culinary Lavender
2 Tsp Lemon Zest
1/2 Tsp Vanilla Extract
1/4 Tsp Salt

FOR THE GLAZE

1 Cup Vegan Powdered Sugar
1-2 Tbsp Plant Milk

Instructions

In a bowl, mix together the flour and salt.
In a separate bowl, cream together the room temperature vegan butter and powdered sugar until smooth, then add the vanilla, lavender and lemon and mix.
Add dry ingredients to wet and mix until you form a ball of dough - I use my hands towards the end of this to bring everything together.
Wrap and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Dust a bit of powdered sugar on a flat surface and roll the dough out into a 2 inch wide cylinder with flat ends.
Cut roughly 1/3 inch cookies out of the dough and place on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper.
Once all cookies are on the sheet, place in the freezer for 15 minutes.
While freezing, preheat oven to 325 degrees, then bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges of the cookies are just slightly brown.
Allow to cool completely, then mix together glaze and dip the cookies in half way, adding more culinary lavender to the top if desired. Enjoy!
