1. - In large bowl, beat confectioners' sugar, butter and lavender until well-combined. Add flour and salt; mix until combined. Dough will be crumbly. Divide dough into 2 disks. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate 1-2 hours or until firm.
2. - Preheat oven to 325°F. Prepare cookie pans with parchment paper.
3. - On floured surface, roll each dough disk out to approximately 1/4 in. thick, pressing together gently if dough cracks. Cut using 2 in. cookie cutter and place on prepared pan. Re-roll dough as necessary, chilling if it becomes too soft.
4. - Bake 11-13 minutes or until light golden brown at edges. Cool 2 minutes on pan on cooling grid. Remove from pan; cool completely on grid.
5. - For glaze, whisk together confectioners' sugar, milk and honey in medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies and sprinkle with lavender (if using).
