Triple Chocolate Lavender Cookies

I highly recommend you try this recipe and you’ll thank me later. The combination of three different kinds of chocolate and lavender is a delightful pairing. The floral notes of lavender beautifully compliment the richness of butter and chocolate.

For this recipe, we are using three different types of chocolate, and obviously, you don’t have to. We have tried these cookies with just dark chocolate chips and it turned out just as good. You can add any type of chocolate you prefer but using different types of chocolate brings their unique flavor profile to these cookies.

Let’s Make These Floral Chocolate Goodness

Here, we are using our KitchenAid stand mixer but you can also use a handheld mixer or even a whisk. The main reason we are using the stand mixer is to cream the sugar and butter together well, just like when you are making a cake. This is not necessary but it does help to get the beautiful texture of the cookies.

Let’s start making the cookie dough by adding brown sugar, raw sugar, or granulated white sugar and soften unsalted butter in your stand mixer bowl. Cream the butter and sugar using a paddle attachment. Mix until sugar is completely dissolved into the butter and you have a smooth buttercream. Now, add your room temperature egg and continue mixing.

Once the egg is completely mixed in, now it’s time to add the lavender blossom. Here we are using Organic food-grade Lavender flowers. Slightly crush the lavender blossoms between the palm of your hand. You can also use a mortar and pestle to coarsely grind or just add them whole. Next, add the vanilla extract, crushed lavender blossoms and continue mixing.

In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add your dry ingredients to the stand mixer and continue mixing until just combined making sure not to overmix. Add your chocolate chips and fold them in the dough using a spatula. Turn out this dough onto a plastic film and form a log and refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight for better tasting cookies. When you are ready to bake the cookies cut the log into 12 equal portions using a very sharp knife.

Here, we divided the cookie dough into 12 equal portions with the help of an ice-cream scoop and chilled these dough balls into the refrigerator for about 2 hours. Preheat your oven to 325 F and arrange the cookie dough balls onto a baking sheet leaving about 2 inches of space between them. Bake these cookies for about 15 to 16 minutes until they turn golden brown just around the edges and still soft and moist in the middle. Let these cookies cool down a little and serve them right away or let them cool completely and store them in a cookie jar.

We are pretty sure you won’t be able to store them for long. Enjoy these cookies whenever you want and however you like. These floral chocolate cookies will definitely satiate your sweet tooth, they are super delicious with a glass of milk. Please try this recipe and let us know how it turned out.
