Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature (1.5 sticks)
- 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg, at room temperature
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Dried Lavender Buds
- 1 1/2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks, or chocolate chips
- Coarse Sea Salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, scraping down the sides as needed.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and lavender. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients and beat on low until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chunks evenly into the dough.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Let the dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Sprinkle sea salt immediately after baking.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage. Use high-quality chocolate chunks for a richer taste.
