Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips and dried lavender, ensuring even distribution.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Increase lavender to 3 tablespoons for a stronger floral flavor.
For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy twist.
For a citrusy touch, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the dough.
To make vegan cookies, replace the egg with a flaxseed egg and use vegan butter.
