Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, sifted
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest, freshly grated
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
- 1 cup (90g) shredded coconut, unsweetened
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and lavender. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the lemon juice and zest. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, beating just until combined. Fold in the shredded coconut with a spatula.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, smoothing it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the bars cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once completely cool, dust with powdered sugar if desired.
