Salted Lavender White Chocolate Chip Cookies
I don’t know what that distinctive line is between candle and cookie flavor but I’ve danced along that boundary for the past few weeks and I think I can definitely exploit it for its trendy aesthetic for the upcoming Spring time. I definitely think a cookie should stay simple and humble, but sometimes some gusto is needed to really shout to the rooftops that Spring is here and you’re doing anything but cleaning. Anyways, hope you like this recipe for

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F, then line your cookie sheet with parchment paper
In a small saucepan set over medium heat, add ½ cup of unsalted butter, and then get ready to brown it. This is when you stir the butter occasionally until it turns amber in color and develops little brown specks.
Transfer the brown butter to a small heat-safe bowl.
Place the brown butter in the freezer or in a larger bowl with ice water
While your browned butter is chilling, prep your lavender sugar.
Blend the 1/4 cup of granulated sugar with the dried lavender in a food processor until completely blended.
Set aside enough to coat your cookies for later, and add in the rest of your granulated sugar and ½ cup of brown sugar
In another bowl, whisk in your egg and lavender extract until combined.
Add in your 1 ¼ cup of flour, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of salt. Use a rubber spatula to fold the mixture together.
Add in the white chocolate and fold just until no flour streaks remain.
Scoop out 3 tbsp. scoops of dough, and roll each cookie ball in the lavender sugar.
Bake for 12-14 minutes
Immediately after taking the cookies out of the oven, add in as much flaky sea salt as you desire!
