Lemon verbena is one of my favorite herbs. It's perfect for desserts with its intoxicating taste and scent.

Ingredients

1 C. butter, room temperature
2 C. granulated sugar; divided
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 C. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 C. finely minced lemon herbs

Directions

Cream the butter and 1 3/4 C. of the sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat well. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and herbs. Add to the creamed ingredients and mix well. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls, 3 inches apart, on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork or glass bottom, coated in sugar. Sprinkle lightly with the remaining sugar before baking. Bake at 350 F for 8 to 10 minutes or until just browned. Cool slightly and remove to a rack.
