Lavender is a wonderful scent and herb to use. It smells amazing and helps relax. I wanted to try something new in my chocolate chips, so I infused them. Out came delicious Lavender Chocolate Chip Cookies.

The house smells amazing a day later with these in the house. My kids and husband love them too. The lavender really brings out the richness of the chocolate. This recipe isn’t overpowering but has just enough to have that lavender flavor. Lavender is also rich in iron. An added benefit. These Lavender Chocolate Chip Cookies are a treat for home or a gift for a friend.

A few of my favorite items to use while baking:

Ingredients

3 2/3 cups flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp culinary lavender
1 1/4 cup softened butter
1 1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs (or 1 duck egg – 2 if small)
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 bag of chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and lavender to combined. Set aside.
2. In a mixer, beat sugar and butter until smooth.
3. Add eggs and vanilla until creamy.
4. Slowly mix the flour mixture into wet mixture and mix just until dough forms.
5. Mix in chocolate chips by hand.
6. Cover bowl and refrigerate for 24 hrs.
7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
8. Place about 2 tbsp sized scoops onto parchment paper lined baking sheet.
9. Bake about 12 minutes until golden.
10. Cool and Enjoy!

TIP: I love using duck eggs in my baking. I’ve recently found this trick, but I think it will be tough to go back to chicken eggs. My cookies had a perfect chewy texture and set well. I tend to hit and miss with cookies setting properly, but since using duck eggs I have never had that problem again. If you have ducks or a local farm that sells duck eggs, give it a shot! I think you’ll find the positive difference too.
