Cream together the butter and sugar, then add the egg yolk, lemon juice and lemon zest, and stir to combine. Then add the flour, arrowroot or cornstarch, dried lavender, and salt.
I use a Kitchenaid stand up mixer with the paddle attachment to mix everything together until a ball of dough forms. You could do the same by hand or with another type of mixer. Once you have your dough ball, Take it out of the form it into a log shape. I like to roll my log back and forth on parchment paper to get my log nice and smooth and even.
Then wrap your dough log in parchment paper, and put in the freezer for 30 minutes.

These were delicious and the final touch that my spring equinox celebration needed.
I’m glad to hear it! There’s just something so wonderful about the combination of lemon and lavender together.
Hey, the proportions and the recipe went away! 🙁
I believe I have fixed the problem. So sorry about that 😊
