I love everything about lavender, its color, its aroma and I absolutely enjoy using it in various special desserts like in macarons, ice cream, or simply in a lemonade, and now in this delicious Lavender Chocolate Cookies. As I love chocolate I simply couldn’t leave it out but feel free to make only Lavender Cookies if desired.
A friend of mine told me about them and really was eager to give them a try. They are as expected, chocolaty with a subtle flavor of lavender which makes them really special and sophisticated. Lavender flavor is not loved by everybody, though I think that if used in just the right amount it can really bring the dessert to the next level. If you love lavender you should definitely give these cookies a try.

Wow! These lavender chocolate cookies look divine, Ella! Absolutely YUM! 🙂
Oh my god these cookies look amazing… that gooey chocolate centre, yum! I love the lavender combination too. Dark chocolate and it go so well together.
What a great idea to use lavender leaves in these cookies Ella! I’ve had lavender ice cream before, and loved it – so I can imagine it would be as equally wonderful in a cookie! Have a great weekend!
Great flavors, these cookies are beautiful! Pinned to try them!
This subtle lavender taste much turn ordinary cookies into something truly gourmet and special. They sound amazing!!!
I’ve never baked with lavendar, and it sounds so delicious! I really need to try this!
WOW Ella! I just love homemade chocolate chip cookies, in fact I am baking some right now but lavender too? What a unique idea! They look absolutely wonderful.
they are mouthwatering..!!
so glad you like them 🙂
Hello!
I made these cookies and they were delicious however they were very dense unlike the picture above. I checked the butter which states 1/2 cup but your picture under directions #3 has two sticks which would be 1 cup of butter. Which is actually correct?
Thanks!
I've used 2 smaller pieces of butter that equals 1/2 cup.. maybe next time try to use less flour.. or use cake flour I am sure they will work fine next time
Whats a great idea …! Its Very pretty!
nice…I love chocolate cookies
Wow! Lavender choclate cookies are something I always wanted to try but never had the chance. But just by going through your post it makes me wanna make them right away. Thanks for sharing.
Loved these choocolate cookies
Some of your cup to gram measurements are off. For the flour and sugar for example. Do you mind correcting them? My cookies came out good but didnt expand and stayed in a ball shape. And I used a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop. Made about 20 cookies like the recipe said. I did 1 & 2/3 cups flour and 2/3 cups sugar, much more than the grams you have listed next to them. Should I have followed the grams or cup measurements?
1 cup of all purpose flour weights 125 g.. so.. 1 2/3 cup weights 210g. 2/3 cup of powdered sugar weights 80g (didn't use granulated sugar here). You can flatten them next time, before baking.
You can also use my newer version of chocolate chip/chunk cookies, that expand better while baking, and add the lavender to the recipe if desired. https://www.homecookingadventure.com/chocolate-chunk-cookies
