Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Gradually add in all-purpose flour, lemon zest, and dried lavender until just combined.
- Incorporate the egg into the dough, mixing until fully combined. Avoid overmixing.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll the chilled dough out to 1/4 inch thick, and cut out cookie shapes.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until edges are slightly golden; cool on a wire rack.
- For icing, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk until smooth. Adjust consistency if needed.
- Dip cooled cookies in icing or drizzle it over the top, adding a sprinkle of dried lavender if desired.

Notes
Chill the dough long enough to maintain cookie shape during baking. Measure flour correctly to avoid dry cookies.
