Cookies

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, softened to room temp
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup AP flour, spooned and leveled 
  • Zest of 1 lemon 

  • Glaze 

    • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
    • 1-2 TBSP milk or heavy cream 
    • 1/2 tsp lemon extract 
    • Lavender simple syrup, to taste 

    • Lavender Simple Syrup

      • 1 to 1 ratio of sugar to water (ie 1/2 cup sugar + 1/2 cup water) 
      • Dried, food grade lavender buds (I used 1 TBSP)

      • Boil sugar and water until sugar disappears 

        Add lavender buds and steep 20 minutes 

        Let cool then strain into a container 


        Cookies 

        Preheat oven to 350F 

        Beat butter & sugar together until creamed. 

        Add zest and mix until combined. 

        Add flour and mix JUST until combined. Do not overmix

        You can either: roll your dough into a log & roll in sanding sugar or sprinkles, chill for 20 minutes then slice OR roll dough out on a lightly floured work surface and use any size cutter to cut your dough. 

        Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake 15-20 minutes until pale but golden. 

        Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool completely. 


        Glaze

        When your cookies are cool, prepare your simple glaze by mixing all ingredients together until combined. If your glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If your glaze is too thick, add more milk a little bit at a time until desired consistency is reached.


        Lemon Sour Martini


        • 1.5 oz vodka
        • 1 oz sour mix
        • .5 oz sweet vermouth

        • Grab a shaker and fill with ice. Add vodka, sour mix, and sweet vermouth. Shake until the shaker tin is visibly frosty. Grab a martini glass and strain. Enjoy immediately :)
