How to Make Lavender Vanilla Lemon Drops

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup lavender-vanilla sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the seeds scraped from 1 vanilla bean (optional).
  5. Add 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon. Gently fold in until just combined.
  6. Gradually add 1/4 cup dried culinary lavender, mixing gently until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
  10. Once chilled, scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch between each cookie.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
