Ingredients 

Shortbread

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon dried lavender finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Filling

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually add the flour, lavender, and lemon zest. Mix until just combined.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  6. For the filling, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until smooth.
  7. Spread the filling on the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to form sandwiches.
