Ingredients

  • 1 c non-dairy margarine (2 sticks), softened
  • ¾ c confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 zest of one small lemon; about 1 ½ tsp
  • 1 tsp culinary lavender; crushed or chopped
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 ¼ c all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • raw cane sugar, optional

Instructions

  • Cream the non-dairy margarine and confectioner's sugar in a mixer until it is light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, lavender, lemon zest and lemon juice and mix until just combined.
  • Slowly add the salt and the flour to the mix, ½ cup at a time and beat until it is fully mixed. The dough will come together slowly.
  • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to ¼ inch in thickness. Cut cookies with desired cookie cutters and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. We used 1¼ inch round cookie cutters. Sprinkle the cookies with raw cane sugar. Cover with saran wrap and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely.
