Preparation

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, ensuring everything is well incorporated.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

For best flavor, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to allow lavender to infuse more thoroughly. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for two weeks.
