These chewy and elegant cookies combine the delicate floral notes of lavender with the sweetness of white chocolate. Ideal for a refined treat or a delightful gift.

Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed. 2 large eggs. 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour. 1 teaspoon baking soda. 1/2 teaspoon salt. 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds. 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips.

Instructions: Preheat your oven to 375F 190C. In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the dried lavender buds and white chocolate chips. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers still look slightly soft. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these elegant chewy white chocolate lavender cookies!
