blackberry lavender chocolate chip cookies
These truly unique cookies will surprise you with the floral notes drifting about a tender, classic chocolate chip cookie.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp dried lavender flowers
- 1 cup fresh blackberries (halved if large)
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips or chunks
- flaky sea salt, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large baking sheets with parchment.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy, about 1-2 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time, then beat in the vanilla.
- Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and lavender flowers. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in the blackberries and dark chocolate chips/chunks until just combined. Do not overmix. The dough will be a bit sticky from the blackberries.
- Scoop 1-2 tablespoon sized balls of dough and set two inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake 8 minutes, then remove the pans and tap firmly on the counter to flatten the tops. Return to the oven for 3-4 more minutes until the edges are set and golden. Let cool on the baking sheet (they will continue to cook) then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Or dive in like a fucking savage and DEVOUR.
Notes
*Dried lavender: Be sure to buy culinary lavender. This is the bag I purchased. It's an ass ton, but hey, more for cookie baking, right?
