  9. Assemble Your Sandwiches: Turn half of the cookies upside down and spoon or pipe the lemon filling onto the flat side before placing another cookie on top.
  10. Savor and Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious Lemon Lavender Sandwich Cookies!

Notes

For a more floral taste, increase the amount of lavender to 1.5 tablespoons. Ensure dough is properly chilled before baking to prevent spreading.
