# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (180°C/gas mark 4). Place parchment paper over your baking trays.
02 -
In a bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder until they’re fully blended. Keep aside.
03 -
Beat the butter, brown sugar, and regular sugar in a large bowl with a handheld mixer or a stand mixer (paddle attachment works best). Mix on high until fluffy and pale; this’ll take about 2-3 minutes.
04 -
Add the egg, lavender, and vanilla to the creamed butter mix. Blend at medium speed until smooth and lighter in color (about 1-2 minutes). Scrape down the sides if needed.
05 -
On low speed, combine the bowl of dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Stop as soon as it’s incorporated; overmixing isn’t good here.
06 -
Using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold the semisweet and lavender chocolate chips into the dough. Spread them evenly throughout.
07 -
Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of the dough, roll into balls, and space them out 3 inches (7.5cm) apart on your prepped trays.
08 -
Bake them for roughly 10-11 minutes. Edges should look golden, but the centers can still seem soft.
09 -
As soon as they’re out of the oven, press additional chocolate chips on top and sprinkle with flaky salt if you like. Cool on the same tray for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to finish cooling off.
# Notes:
01 -
If you want to make lavender chocolate chips at home, check the creator's site. Otherwise, use regular or white chocolate chips.
02 -
For accurate flour measurement, use a spoon to fill your measuring cup, then level it with a flat edge.
03 -
To make your cookies look neat and round, use a cookie cutter and glide it around each one while they’re fresh out of the oven.
