These lavender chocolate chip cookies are a bit of a fancy, unexpected variation on the classic chocolate chip cookie. The perfect lavender cookies for special summer get-togethers or to elevate your afternoon iced coffee break.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and the vanilla and continue mixing until well-combined.
Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium size bowl. With the mixer running on low, slowly add the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture. Mix until everything is well-combined again.
Finally, add in the chocolate chips and the culinary lavender and mix just until all ingredients seem well-distributed.
Chill the dough for at least 20 minutes, then scoop it out onto a parchment or silpat-lined baking sheet using a medium size cookie scoop. Bake at 350° for 14 minutes, turning the baking sheet halfway through the baking time.
Allow the cookies to cool for a moment on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
