Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter with ¾ cup of powdered sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Mix in the zest of one lemon, 1 tablespoon of culinary lavender, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ teaspoon of almond extract. Blend on low until fully combined, about 1 minute.
- Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt to your mixture. Mix on low until the dough just comes together, taking care not to overmix.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on ungreased baking sheets, pressing your thumb into each to create a well.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Let them cool before filling with lemon curd.
- Fill each thumbprint with lemon curd while slightly warm, then allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Sift powdered sugar over the cooled cookies before serving.

Notes
Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Chill the dough if too soft. Experiment with other fillings if desired.
