1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Icing:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1-2 teaspoons milk (as needed for consistency)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the lemon zest, chopped lavender, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.

Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
To make the icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and milk until smooth. Add more milk if necessary to achieve your desired consistency.
Once the cookies are cool, drizzle or pipe the icing onto the cookies in a decorative pattern. Allow the icing to set before serving.
