Ingredients 

Lavender White Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 113 g unsalted butter (½ c.)
  • 50 g granulated sugar (¼ c.)
  • 100 g light brown sugar (½ c.)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. lavender extract
  • 150 g all purpose flour (1 ¼ c.)
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 140 g white chocolate (¾ c. + 1 tbsp.)

Lavender Sugar

  • 75 g granulated sugar (¼ c. + 2 tbsp.)
  • 1 tbsp. dried culinary lavender

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F / 175°C. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • In a small saucepan set over medium heat, brown the butter. Stir the butter occasionally until it turns amber in color and develops little brown specks.
  • Transfer the brown butter to a small heat-safe bowl. You should be left with at least 90g of brown butter (but not more than 95g). If you have a little less than 90g, just add in some water until you reach it.
  • Place the brown butter in the freezer for 5 minutes to cool down.
  • In the meantime, prep your white chocolate and lavender sugar.
  • Chop up the white chocolate and set aside. Then, blend the 75g of granulated sugar with the dried culinary lavender in a food processer to break up the lavender into smaller pieces. Pour the lavender sugar into a bowl and set aside.
  • Once the brown butter has cooled, mix in both sugars.
  • Whisk in the egg and lavender extract until well combined.
  • Add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Use a rubber spatula to fold the mixture together just until a few flour streaks remain.
  • Add in the white chocolate and fold just until no flour streaks remain.
  • Scoop out heaping 3 tbsp. scoops of dough, and roll each cookie ball in the lavender sugar. Place the cookies at least 2" apart on the baking sheet to allow room for spreading.
  • Top each cookie with additional white chocolate if desired, and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
  • Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, you can take a bowl that is slightly larger than the cookies and swirl it around over the cookies to make them a little more uniform and circular.
  • Serve and enjoy!
